🔍 Key Concepts

• Wildcat: the special anchor windlass drum that engages the anchor chain • Names of parts: pockets, whelps, pawls, devil’s claw • Which parts actually touch/drive the chain links vs. which are separate retaining or stopping devices

💭 Think About

• On a wildcat, what feature physically pushes and carries the chain around as it turns? • Which item in the choices is used as a separate securing or stoppers device on deck, not a shaped part of the rotating wildcat? • Think about what you call the shaped projections or recesses that match the shape of chain links on any sprocket-like device.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which terms are deck securing gear (used to hold chain) rather than part of the rotating drum itself • Identify which term refers to projections or recesses on a rotating drum that fit the chain links • Eliminate any component that serves as a pawl/ratchet or stopper, not a chain‑engaging tooth on the wildcat
