[A/S] Crossing safety chains



         It's almost impossible to get a straight answer online from 
Google;  l so, I asked Jeeves.  Not much better, but I did discover an SAE 
code:

"SAE Code J684, Section 6.3.1 reads: Two lengths of Safety Chain or 
equivalent shall be used. They shall be connected from the opposite sides 
of the trailer tounge to the towing vehicle and when passing forward to the 
towing vehicle, shall be crossed under the trailer tounge in such a matter 
that they will cradle the trailer coupling and tounge in the event of 
separation of coupling or ball."

         Whoever put this on the page obviously re-typed it, mis-spelling 
"tongue" consistently <BG>.
