I had my fingers crossed that we would get through this discussion of
tower winches before someone would make the typing or spelling mistake
on winch and turn it into wench
. But NO
..
A winch is a device for applying tension to a cable or rope and usually
used in a crank up tower configuration.
A wench is (according to dictionary.com either 1.) a country lass or
working girl, or an older meaning is , 2.) to associate, esp.
habitually, with promiscuous women
I would hope no one has a wench bolted to their tower, as I am pretty
sure that is against the law :-)
