It is possible that rigging was tuned by ear an old trade(listen up/oop Ginger!!)of steam driven loco`s was the "Wheeltapper". This was a man who would tap a locomotives wheels with a hammer.If the wheel went "thunk" it was cracked and needed replacing if it didn`t it was sound,incidentaly when I am roping and sheeting a load on a lorry,yes we STILL do it!!,I use the same method for checking rope tension.Why? because it works.Regards andy the tyke
