Request for expansion

I've added some more text to this page, but I feel it really needs some illustrations. These could be photographs or drawings. I'd like them to show:

• A traditional wooden block, with rope grommet
• A typical modern sailing yacht block with high-tech features
• A typical non-nautical all-metal or other 'agricultural' block

In addition, there is scope to illustrate

• Single sheave
• Multi-sheave side-by-side and 'fiddle' blocks

There is another important set of illustrations needed, showing all the common tackles that these are used in - single purchase, double purchase etc, with the working end at this end and that and all related to the mechanical advantage. I think this second lot should not be here, but on the tackle page.

I'm putting this here as a reminder as well as a request: if I get around to it, I may be able to take photos to illustrate some of these. If anyone wants to beat me to it, or can draw them, please do! :-) --Nigelj 20:31, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
