Le coin des porcs. Quelques-uns se sont couchés parallèlement et, en opposant tête à queue, regardent chacun de son côté. D’autres, comme les rais d’une voiture, tournent les groins vers la jante idéale.
Sur la route, ce furent les premières chaussées modernes construites par Trésauguet, en France, et par Mac-Adam, en Angleterre vers 1760, qui firent rechercher des procédés un peu moins primitifs que le sabot qu'on intercalait entre la roue et le sol, la chaîne d'enrayage et le rondin qui embarraient la jante près d'un rai.
