The exterior of the horse . Fig. 1V5.—Chaussure exploratrice, or pneu-matic foot-bulb of Marey, for the registra-tion of the gaits by compressed air. Fig. 176—Bracelet explorateur, or pneu-matic bracelet of Marey, for the registra-tion of the gaits by compressed air. It is easy to understand that the least displacement of the latter will leave itstrace upon the paper. All pressure will produce a more or less marked deviationof the point of the needle; if there is no pressure the line traced will be straightfrom the point of its origin to its termination. The figure of the tracing of a gait (Fig. 174) is therefore a curve offering a series of verticalundulations, a, a, which correspond to the pressure transmitted to the registering apparatus bythe concussion and the contact of the hoofs upon the ground. The tracing reads from left to right. The ascent, b, b, b, of each undulation indicates anincrease of pressure, a contact of the member; the descent, c, c, c, signifies, on the contrary, adiminution, an elevat
