This excellent book covers rigging and application of fiber rope, wire rope and chains used in various combinations to raise and move heavy loads. Chapters on knots, splices and attachment. Hoisting chains and hooks, slings and much more. Very well illustrated. Don't use ropes without it!

4.0 out of 5 stars
a place to start,
By imhennessy "imhennessy" (Bellows Falls, Vermont United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rigging (Paperback)
this book is by the military, so you can assume that it's about ten years behind the date on the cover. that means that all the info was developed in the mid 50's. it's a good place to start if you don't intend to splice or maintain kernmantle or use any modern equipment like a griphoist or tirfor. i got my copy for about four dollars out in the real world.
4.0 out of 5 stars
not Sure,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rigging (Paperback)
A Published Date of this Book would have been nice to know about , and in my opinion would have been nice to see on the Book Advertisement on Amazons Website . Not that in this case would have made any difference as to whether I would have purchased this Book , or not , but for the other Book that I ordered from this Company it does.
