No it isn't! I know it's a long thread and, like most people, I can't always take the time to read all the way through myself but if you look back to my post on page 2 you'll see that it is 5:1.

The OP's question BTW was "what is the purchase of this system?" rather than asking how he could 'improve' it. (mozzy in fact who is not exactly inexperienced WRT this stuff).

You are right though, it would not be too difficult to re-jig it for either a class legal 4:1 or 6:1  Thumbs Up

Its certainly an odd way to rig the system. But I made a model too and it definitely is 5:1, and I've now realised how I managed to get the wrong answer. To be class legal it needs to be rigged the other way up.

Yup, that's where I was at too. Proper brain bender it was though, even when I built the mock up I couldn't work out why it was 5:1 even though I could see it there in front of me.......

So I think you are probably right that it should be fitted the other way up to be rule compliant. It's much easier when the dead ends are attached to the fixed end.....
