🔍 Key Concepts

• Block and tackle components used in lifting gear • The difference between a sheave and the cheeks of a block • Where you would find a gypsy or a drum on deck equipment

💭 Think About

• Picture a standard wooden or metal block used with rope: what part actually carries the rope and allows it to turn? • Which term refers to the sides of the block, and which terms are more commonly associated with winches or windlasses? • Think about what you would see on an anchor windlass versus what you would see in a simple purchase system (block and tackle).

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term specifically means the grooved rotating wheel for rope or wire. • Eliminate terms that describe structural sides or housing of the block rather than the moving wheel. • Eliminate terms that you associate with winches, windlasses, or capstans instead of a plain block.
