    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    A block and tackle is characterized by the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load. Its mechanical advantage is the number of parts of the rope that act on the load. The mechanical advantage of a tackle dictates how much easier it is to haul or lift the load.

The Round Turn and Two Half Hitches is named by Steel in 1794. If a spar is small, a round turn is preferable to a single turn. It makes a stronger knot and dissipates the wear.

This is called "sweating a ...
