Re: Neolithic Rope!
Sep 16, 2003, 17:53
I was flinching at the cost of replicating large quantities of Neolithic rope for use in the project. A small piece for testing should be OK.

If we haul the stone up from 70 degrees, the initial strain on the rope(s) would be about 7 tons, provided that the angle is not too steep (i.e. a long rope).
