LIFTING HITCH 



153 



Fig. 7. The packer now heaves on the ropes in the 

 same manner as when they were first passed, and 

 adjusting each bearing and strain so that it comes 

 relatively on the packs as shown in Fig. 7. This 

 varies somewhat with the shape and necessities of 

 the load. 



The position of the lash rope is now as shown in 

 Fig. 7.
