NUTS of the anchor
NUTS of the anchor, two little prominencies, appearing like short square bars of iron, fixed across the upper part of the anchor-shank, to secure the stock thereof in its place; for which purpose there is a corrresponding notch, or channel, cut in the opposite parts of the stock, of the same dimensions with the nuts. See the article ANCHOR.
