drawbar

Trailer attachment point

A drawbar is a bar or beam used to connect and pull.

On tractors and trucks, the drawbar is the coupling point where trailers or implements attach for towing: The plow hooks to the drawbar.

On steam locomotives, drawbars connect the engine to its tender and cars.

In pipe organs, drawbars are sliding controls that adjust tone by adding or removing harmonics.
