Hello all,
I was doing research concerning the Jarvis winch and how it was rigged.
What I have gathered so far is that it was connected the the first lower yards. In some descriptions, the cable was rigged to Jarvis winch directly from the yards and others the cable ran to the mast aft on it and then run down to the Jarvis winch. I believe the second case to be true. My concern is that I can not find out where the cables ran from the yard to the aft mast. particularly the course yard. Any ideas about this.
Also were the cable, when attached to the Jarvis winch, connect first to the larger or smaller part of the conical drums?
Thank you.
