Читать книгу Steel Traps - A. R. Harding - Страница 46

This trap is known as No. 15, spread of jaws 11¾ inches. To meet the views of certain trappers whose judgement is respected, the manufacturers designed a style of jaw for the No. 5 trap, making an offset of ¾ of an inch so as to allow the springs to come up higher when the bear's leg is in the trap. This gives the spring a better grip. This trap weighs about 19 pounds.
