Let \(L\) be a field extension over \(K\). In the case where \(K\) is a part of the centre \(L\) such concepts as spread and chains were investigated. In this paper the author investigates the case when \(K\) is not a part of the centre of \(L\). The main tool in this paper is the concept of transversal lines of a chain. With the help of this notion the author gives a simple geometric proof of the Cartan-Brauer-Hua theorem. A crucial result of this paper is the geometric description of the spread and chain by means of collineations.
