Historical information
Metal Pully and Rope
When heavy items were required to be moved a rope and pulley set was very handy.
By attaching one end of the set to a solid surface, it was possible to lift items.
In the bush, the timber workers made good use of the pulleys. When set up in a sequence, they could move logs across gullys, up and down hills as the chopped down trees made their way to a sawmill. Using animal or mechanical power increased the use of the pulley and rope.
