Go to Post The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. - EricVanWyk [more]

Re: How Does a Winch Work?

telescoping arms take a look at this.

In 2000 we use a telescope system that will go in both direction with a lot of power this one went as high as 10'

with a system like this you only tighten one nut to put the whole system into tension. this might look big and heavy but this telescope was made with thin alum. and light rollers. this only wieghed 15 lbs just the telescope part


I will say we have something even better than this.
