49. Cleats and belaying-pins. 



Gaff-topsail cleat and downhaul attachment. (Bagnall & 

 Loud's patent, 1877.) 

 Made of galvanized iron. It is readily applied with one bolt to the 

 gaff of vessels. This cleat swings to any position, overcoming 

 the abrasion of the rope and side of the cleat, and by a down- 

 haul attachment does away with the bull's-eye or block that 

 was formerly fastened by a bolt driven into the end of the gaff. 

 Middletown, Conn. 39,239. Wilcox, Crittenden & Co. 



Improved gaff-topsail cleat and downhaul attachment. 



"The advantages are first in a swinging cleat which will always have 

 a fair lead, and can be applied either to the port or starboard 

 side as well. In connection with the cleat is the band on the 

 gaff and downhaul attachment, consisting of a brass bull's-eye, 

 all being easily applied in one piece to the gaff by one bolt." 

 Bagnall & Loud, Boston, Mass.
