[Rhodes22-list] Q about topping lift

[Michael D. Weisner]

Rummy,

That is what I remember.

>From what Lou had asked, I was going to check to see if there is any 
clearance for a line to emerge from the inner portion and down along the 
mast, between the fwd and aft sheaves, though I do not remember an exit path 
between the sheaves.

I think that the masthead is similar to the attached figure (4 sheave 
L104-05MC) from http://www.lefiell.com/masthead_assemb.html (or see attached 
image) except that it included 2 bails, thus leaving no exit path for the 
line except fore and aft of the mast (other than down the inside of the 
mast.)
