| This iron piece attached to the end of a singletree or doubletree; "the pivoted swinging bar to which the traces of a harness are fastened and by which a vehicle or implement is drawn." As you may suspect, a single tree was used for one animal, such as a horse or oxen; the doubletree was used to balance two animals. | ||||
