The Use of Ropes and Tackle

Transcriber’s Notes:
The cover image was created by the transcriber, and is in the public domain.
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate.
Typographical errors have been silently corrected but other variations in spelling and punctuation remain unaltered.
Fractions have been changed from “d/d” format to single character fractions, e.g. 1/2 --> ½. However, unusual fractions cannot be converted and are left unchanged. If the unusual fraction occurs inside a table, then all fractions in that table retain the original format, for consistent appearance.
