Goop point (of course) Tom; and TreeTx, iguess it could be fair to say that using this a lot during a good learning curve is great, to be able to put in your back pocket; to quick draw out anytime you really need it.
i once again note, that whenever possible a Z-rig etc. pull multiplier is not my main tightening system; but a preset to tensioneing the line for real leverageing by bending it; even if just to sweat some more tension purchase out of the line, or too lock off the line system bent at leveraged angle. That is the superior leverage purchase from the single line over a short distance. A pre-tightened line gives this short distance and avails higher loading fed into the leveraging for the real power. Sometimes .5 - 2 seconds more to make a support or tightening screech with power in the line to task!
On the Speedline Assist part of the system (Blue Line); i come to the far side of the load to hitch, to give as great and far a torqued turn on the hinge (to force to higher strength at folding). i think the time betwixt a hinge holding solid, and the time that it is folding is a lil "magi-call'; in that catching the load at that precise point and increasing pull or push on it, to impose hinging movement, forces the hinge stronger. So if i can bend the Blue Line sharply for a sudden high leverage load on the line, it will be just at that point of the hinge flexing over, to at that moment, force as much support giving strength to tyhe hinge, for the rest of it's ride on that hinge. A properly made WideFace taking best advantage of that, allowing the most ride on hinge. Efforts other than during that point of bending (which may be extended like muscling a strong/light/flexible pine WideFace hinge all the way to the ground); either befoere or after, are kinda feudal mostly, but a well aimed , impacting all at once effort,; to induce flexing/hinging at that moment, is best use IMLHO.
i think that pulling at the end of the load gives highest leverage force available, tying just to front of that load from a pull roughly even in height, pulls acorss the hinge withthat leverage. But, tying over the top, takes the highest leverage position of pull and also comits to more arching on the hinge, thereby more leveraged. The straighter pull, would try to move forward to target farther, while the arching one goes to target, less directly, longer route of the arc, so therefore the same amount of leverage from height applied to induce different arc/leverage values by the choosing of the direction of that force as it is applied to target as a seperate valuation. Getting more arc or less straight to target direction; giving same leveraged power funneled into less movement.
Orrrrrrrrr something like that.........
Better get back to the local branch lab!
