Swing Tongue Catch - Kirby Morgan 77 Operation And Maintenance Manual

8.12 Swing Tongue Catch

The swing tongue catch assembly helps to provide
alignment for the front of the neck ring assembly, as
well as making it easier to remove the helmet. The
swing tongue catch should rarely need attention or
service, unless damaged accidentally.
