[TowerTalk] Safety harness/belts

[John E. Cleeve]

Gentlemen,

If you are interested, there is a film, available on the Crystal Palace
web site, which shows how the 800ft London BBC Television tower at Crystal
Palace, SE London, was designed, and then built and erected, using muscle
and ropes, no safety lines are visible, well worth watching.

I would like to see how a tower, like the one in the video is erected,
from the ground up, my question being, to what did the riggers attach
their safety harness? Does anyone know of an accessible video/film?
