🔍 Key Concepts

• Parts of a block and tackle and how load is carried • Difference between a drum/gypsy on a windlass and the wheel in a block • Traditional rigging terms for rope-running surfaces

💭 Think About

• Think about which part of the block actually turns and carries the rope or wire inside the shell of the block • Consider where you would find a gypsy or drum on a ship and what equipment those terms usually describe • Ask yourself which term is specifically used in rigging for the rotating grooved wheel inside the sides (cheeks) of a block

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the meaning of cheek in relation to a block (what part is that?) • Recall what a gypsy head is normally attached to on deck gear • Verify which term is defined in seamanship texts as the grooved wheel over which the line passes inside a block
