Default early style piston pin lock

Does anybody have a picture of an early style rod and piston pin with the center lock?
Thanks, Bill

So, is it just 1 or 2 "snap" rings, in a groove inside the piston?

The standard Ford piston pin lock was a single wire lock ring at mid-span of the pin. The double lock rings at the ends of the pin are aftermarket replacements.
