I do not recall seeing straps on the floor but they were very common on boxes. They fell out of use some 40 or so years ago, were gradually removed and have all but disappeared altogether now . 





We still have a foot strap on the tenor box at Doncaster (tenor c30 cwt). It is excellent for those of us needing a little traction for back pain; just over-pull a bit and then hold on tight. It' s better than any chiropractic therapy.
