[UK-CONTEST] Pulleys and rope

[gd0tep at safe-mail.net]

Ah... OK, I follow you now... but then I guess it depends on how many
pullies you have within each block.
Enough pullies, and it's easy(ish) to pull a system up using the way I do,
whilst watching...

But as I said, each to his own...

Mind you, it wouldn't be the first time I've used a van to pull the rope as
the system was A, tall, and B, heavy.

Cheers...

Hi Andy

You get the maximum mechanical advantage from the last sheave on the
block only if you are pulling in line with the other ropes. That's hard
to do with your arrangement.
