  2. Glider snatch pick-up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glider_snatch_pick-up

    On flyover, the hook engaged in a square loop of a nylon tow rope supported on two poles about 20 ft (6 m) apart and 3 ft (1 m) off the ground. This loop was attached to a 180 ft (55 m) nylon tow rope attached to the front of the glider. The special design of the hook meant it was less likely to snag the ground but would grab the loop.

  3. Nautical cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_cable

    The three ropes are so tightly wound counter to the weave of the constituent ropes that the fibers are compressed and the individual weaves stressed, sealing out the water and resulting in a length of about 180 metres (100 fathoms), the UK traditional definition of cable length. Using a cable, the raising of the anchor, or any activity ...

    At about 0230 hrs Torregrande hauled in its 250-metre (820 ft) steel cable and began to recover its 220-metre (720 ft) nylon towing rope. [4] Gatti then cut the nylon rope and cast the hulk adrift. [4] The hulk sank again on 14 October [1] at 0258 hrs. The tugs had managed to tow it only about 90 miles (140 km) from Genoa.

  5. Webbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webbing

    Webbing is cut with a hot wire as is nylon rope, which prevents fraying and unravelling. However, when webbing does fray and unravel, the result is less disastrous than with rope, providing a modest advantage. Webbing suffers the drawback of less elasticity than perlon rope, and it may be more difficult to handle with gloves or mittens on. [4 ...

  6. Towing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towing

    The tow-ball is popular for lighter loads, readily allowing swivelling and articulation of a trailer. A tow pin and jaw with a trailer loop are often used for large or agricultural vehicles where slack in the pivot pin allows the same movements. A pintle and lunette is a very heavy duty hitching combination used in construction and the military.

  7. Drogue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drogue

    Nylon rope is widely used for hauling drogues since it best absorbs the shock loading by stretching. However, new research indicates that using a rope with less stretch accompanied by chain weight helps to maintain a constant force on the deployment rode rendering storm drogue use more effective.
