Strain′--ing.


Saddlery.) A piece of canvas or leather, which, being drawn tightly over the tree, forms the foundation for the seat of the saddle.

This is covered by cross-straining, the ground seat, the set or filling, and the latter by the top-seat.

Suction-pipe strainer.

It is called the straining, because the stretch is taken out of it by repeated wettings and stretchings.
