They were in a single line, held on a common chain, anchored at each end to a large ring fixed in a heavy, trunklike piling, of which a foot or so was visible above the ground. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter 42, Sentence #62)

I suspect the reason for this division in the tent, by means of the canvas partition, was less to protect the slaves from roving, appraising eyes, for slaves are accustomed, as other animals, to being openly regarded, than to minimize the possibility of a particular slave being identified, even casually or accidentally. A consequence of this arrangement, of course, was that the slaves had no clear understanding of what had occurred on the other side of the partition. As mentioned earlier, there were some forty slaves in the tent. They were in a single line, held on a common chain, anchored at each end to a large ring fixed in a heavy, trunklike piling, of which a foot or so was visible above the ground. Each was fastened to the chain in the following fashion. A portion of the chain was looped twice, closely, about the left ankle, following which the shackle, or tongue, of a padlock was threaded through two links of the chain, and snapped shut, this closing the loops. In virtue of this arrangement girls could be conveniently added to, or removed from, the chain. - (Rebels of Gor)
