It's all PFM and a thing of beauty to me every time I see it in action. Being a lazy slob, I can't ever get enough of energy saving tech.
So Professor, for a given pulley arrangement, does "pulling" on the moving pulley always yield an increased advantage, as opposed to pulling on the fixed component? I'd be tempted to ask why, but the answer might make my head explode.

I've just seen a lot of projects go sideways due to adding a little accessory here and there until a rig's capacity gets compromised or at least the handling characteristics changed enough to surprise the operator. In this case my comment was made in semi jest. Arisaka is running a tight ship. As I watch the project progress I'm always impressed with the creativity and workmanship, but one of the main things that is always in the back of my mind, and I'm sure is ever present while the work is going on, is what a remarkable tribute the project is to Arisaka's Dad. You can always tell the subtle differences in endeavors that are labors of love. Pop would be mighty proud.
