It's not a question, it's an acronym!

WHY = What Have You (got)

Well ok it is a question but you know what I mean

Usually install an I beam then a beam trolley like this

I know its an acronym but when it is written WHY followed by a question mark it was too good to resist. If it was written WHYG I wouldn't have written what I did.

I have a decent block and tackle , British made IIRC that may be for sale . Much better than buying a new poor quality one.
