Overall (mm): length 38.7, width 13.0, height 43.2
- Block frame: two 2 mm cheeks either side of the sheave (Ø4 pin holes), joined by bridges that carry Ø3 stems (into the beam, the floor plate or a weight's socket) and Ø3 rope-end sockets; every bridge sits clear of the rope's path. One rope runs under the sheave; a second rope's end plugs into the side socket; the stem below (at the line of the resultant pull) carries the weight.
