WIMAN ONE-MAN HITCH 



111 



Fig. 7. To cinch the cargo the Packer begins with the 

 lash rope that crosses the load from the ring to the 

 hook. He sees that this lies straight across the 

 centre of the cargo. Then he grasps the lash rope 

 afier it has passed around the hook and tightens it 

 with all his strength. 



Fig. 7 



Holding it taut he proceeds to work along the lash 

 rope in the same order in which he first threw 

 the hitch, heaving with all his strength and holding 

 taut the slack so taken. 



When he has again reached the free end the Packer 

 brings it over and down under the forward corner 

 of the sobre-jalma and passes it. still keeping it 

 taut, to the rear outside of the cincha or hook. 

 The position of the lash rope, cinched, is now as 

 indicated in Fig 7.
