chained_bear "GOODGEONS, or BRACES, certain clamps of iron, or other metal, bolted on the stern-post of a ship, whereon to hang the ruddger; for which purpose there is a hole in each of them, to receive a correspondent pintle, bolted on the back of the rudder, which turns thereby as upon hinges. There are generally four, five, or six goodgeons on a ship's stern-post and rudder, according to her size, and upon these the rudder is supported, and traverses from side to side as upon an axis."
