On Sat, 11 Sep 2004 11:04:28 -0400, "Skip Gundlach" skip make this
all one word with my last name next to my first gundlach@adelphia dot fish catcher net (sorry bout the spamtrap!) wrote: "Horace Brownbag" wrote in message news snip The pull of the eye is not inline with the slot of the hook...so it will always pull the link of the chain to one side. Pragmatically I don't know if this cant of the link would be significant unless one puts it to the test will some heavy and or prolonged load. I don't expect the couple-inch-off-center pull, particularly 20 or so feet out, would make any difference that could be measured. However, being somewhat of a pragmatist but more of a neatnik (elegant solutions rather than Rube Goldberg), I'm resistant to three shackles just to be able to attach two lines to a device not designed for the task. snip It's my understanding that it's the distance from the eye to hook, and the offset twixt the two. Under heavy load it will bend the link. Skip and Lydia, watching Ivan move west and keeping our fingers crossed Yeah....two is enough for one year. |
