Hello everyone
Although a bit redundant and obvious, I upload a scheme of the rake bridle in the miquelete. It is an insert, independent of the bowl, and I have drawn two methods of fixing to the platinum. The false bridle is placed on its flare and comes to be retained by the frizen screw.
In the three primitive miquelete specimens photographed by LAVIN (pages 156, 173, 174) the method of sjecion can be clearly seen. Who has not had a copy in the hands, and is guided only by the photographs, can be confused, and think that is part of the bowl.
Below is the outline of a French bowl, with the bridle forming part of the piece.
Affectionately. Fernando K
