MA = Figure 20 MA = Figure 21 The hauling system in figure 20 is known as a Single Spanish Burton. The hauling systems in figures 21 and 22 are known as Double Spanish Burtons, however they have different mechanical advantage ratios. Can you calculate them?

The Difference Between Advantage & Disadvantage A hauling system is reeved to disadvantage when the hauling line goes through a pulley that does not add to the mechanical advantage of the system, it only adds friction. This pulley is usually referred to as a redirection pulley. Figure 23 is a 3:1 system reeved to advantage whilst figure 24 is a 3:1 system reeved to disadvantage. The term disadvantage means there is extra friction in the system, not necessary to achieve the mechanical advantage of the system you have built. Don’t be put off using redirection pulleys, the term reeved to “disadvantage” is a technical term only. You can use redirection pulleys whenever they will make the job of the hauling party easier. There can be advantages to reeving a system to disadvantage.
