介绍（中）	这被认为是用路边钻头（具有杠杆效应的位）启动幼马的温和位。事实上，根据当代马术手册，长直柄（连接缰绳的钻头侧面的杠杆）和带有简单大炮的接合吹嘴在路边钻头中最温和的组合。如果长柄看起来令人印象深刻，它们的长度实际上减少了它们的反应时间，实际上会在某个时候被马的胸部挡住。此时的路边钻头也用非常轻巧的手使用，训练有素的马匹通过期待缰绳的最轻微移动做出反应。优雅的穿孔装饰是 16 世纪和 17 世纪东德马刺制造商作坊的典型代表。尽管它们的名字，马刺制造商不仅制造马刺，还制造小型马术硬件，如钻头、马镫、枪口、洞穴或咖喱梳。
介绍（英）	This was considered as a gentle bit for starting young horses with the curb bit (bit with a leverage effect). Indeed, according to contemporary equestrian manuals, the long straight shanks (the levers on the sides of the bit to which the reins were attached) and the jointed mouthpiece with simple canons made for the most gentle combination in a curb bit. If the long shanks look impressive, their length in fact reduces their reaction time and would actually have been blocked at some point by the horse’s chest. Curb bits were also at this time used with a very light hand, the well-trained horses responding by anticipation to the slightest move of the reins. The elegant pierced decoration is typical of East German spur maker’s workshops during the 16th and 17th centuries. Despite their name, spur makers made not only making spurs, but also small equestrian hardware like bits, stirrups, muzzles, cavessons or curry-combs.
