breechen
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: breechens
Senses: examples: text: In order to prevent any accidents which might happen, by the iron pin of the carriage giving way, from so sudden a shock, a breechen is made fast, from the sliding carriage, to the head of the boat, and properly secured: the gun being fired, the elasticity of the breechen permits her to recoil about two inches, which certainly is a much less strain to the boat, and a safer method of using the gun; for, allowing the breechen to break, there is then the same principle of the iron pin to be depended upon, as at present.
ref: 1793, Transactions of the Society Instituted at London for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, volume XI, pages 189–90:
text: 1839, The London Saturday Journal, No. XVIII, 4 May, 1839, London: William Smith, p. 274, https://books.google.ca/books?id=ekEwAQAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false
The gun is discharged by means of a lock screwed on to the side of a vent-patch near the touch-hole, and its recoil is limited by a stout piece of rope called a breechen, which is rove through a ring at the breech, the ends being secured to bolts on each side of the port-hole.
text: Mounted on lumbering wooden carriages they were hampered with cumbersome harness of breechen and strong side-tackles for running them out. Guns and carriages, together with the long rammers and shorter lintstocks lodged in loops overhead—all these, as customary, were painted black; and the heavy hempen breechens, tarred to the same tint, wore the like livery of the undertakers.
ref: 1924, Herman Melville, chapter 20, in Billy Budd, London: Constable & Co.:
glosses: A rope used to limit the recoil of a cannon on a ship

Remember, when a horse is on its side the kicking-strap is useless, and the breechen nearly so, to prevent the swing of its hind legs; your aim is to get it away from the steps or wheel-plate of the trap, which, in its struggles, may cut its legs fearfully.
text: The breechen kept pressure back off the horse's hind quarters when they braked — the horses were very aware of this and paid close attention to its functioning.
