Pretty good find there Big Guy. Now i think we have metal bitts, chocks etc. on pier too. Nice old version ya got thar!
i guess i'm guilty of a few play-ful miss-spellings for illustration; as well as borrowing terms from related things to fill voids i see in the models.
One of the voids is these points of referance/ perspective sighted. An immediate failing of the terms to working models to examine the working mechanics; and view tying mithods as illustrative of strategies to invoke these working mechanics; is shown by TreeMachine and KnudeNoggin. In a system analysis; of a rope in real action being pulled and pulling as a link; 1 knot's Bitter End is the opposite hitching's Working End; and vice-versa; depending on the perspective of which not you are taking. The terms are defined as KnudeNoggin says; in a relaxed line; you holding 1 end; and following description. The Standing Part is just laying there, not as i like to illustrate a Standing (Tension) Part; empowered and being the initiating force, causing forces in the hitch/knot to trap it's ownself and do other work to etc. So, i look at Standing Part as Standing Tension Part, pulling actively at each knot on either end; an lose the Running End at that point.
i all ways see part of physics as philosophy; and note some of the earliest philosophers were phycists in the 'western' tradition; and the sages of wisdom came with maximizing the physics through your own body in the eastern. Nature with a promised equal and opposite force to tap into; to a positive atitude mind? In the versatackle and z rig frictions i see this; that i use almost every day. With no/ low friction redirects end of the spectrum; we tension lines inline with pulley(s). When things are reversed; and we have frictional redircet(s) (but still in a workable/ dynamic range); we reverse strategy and give perpendicular input to the lines; capitalizing on the friction(s); that once thwarted us.
The best description of this is Brion Toss's well t-old, grisly tales of men at sea for months and sweating purchases from lines to empower lines to sail etc. We can grab perpendicular on a tensioned line; and use it's new found resistance to bend as leverage; then the friction(s) as walls/buffers to keep a purchase of line behind/ to leave the other side tighter/lift sail etc. So, we now have a winning strategy possible, on bringing tensioned lines to higher tensions or lifting; without friction or with friction (as long as in a dynamic/ moveable state). So; we can indicually sweat each line of the versa if we need. Also, the many legs of line doing less work per; lowers their elasticity; so we can then bend the whole jig after all tightening to leverage tension even higher (especially good for tiedowns etc.).
