Re: Polycord and polycord pullies

That is exactly how we do it also. As in rephrasing my prior post, back when I was a student there in 2005-2008 there wasn't much documentation (or we just didn't have the knowledge to look it up) therefore having way more trial and error. Now it is smooth sailing.
