chapter xxvii
the construction of the crossbow (continued)
the windlass
the sheath of the handle end of the windlass fits over the small end
of the stock of the crossbow, as shown opposite in fig. 73. in the surface
view, only the ends of the cords are inserted, to avoid confusion of detail.
the end of the sighting strip is also omitted in this view for the same
reason.
fig. 74. - the fore-end of the windlass surface and
side view. half full size.
fig. 74. in the surface view, the pulley cords are not given, in order
to show more clearly the arrangement of the wheels and of the guards which
keep the cord in position on the wheels. see fig. 75, next page, for the
windlass in position on the crossbow. |
