Interesting Wert
I hope that your eyes aren't bothering you finding all of these details? <G>

bwdavis...I see what you are trying to get at....But the way they got the pulley, it is a double rope (#2 of your picture) and a pulley above that, that we can not see...It still doesn't make sense.
Bujutsu...I can't stop seeing the oddities in these stamps.
It is just another way to look at stamps that I have embraced.
Call it weird, but I have fun doing it. |

 There is also a flaw in the diagram... the space between the 33 and the 1/3 is much narrower than the one lower down. I must say that this is more fun than a beard-tugging contest. |

You are correct Gilles le timbre...But, if it is only ONE continuous rope, that does not explain why there are 2 on one side of the pulley and only one on the other side....  Beard tugging it is scotzm |

maybe it is 4 ropes and what looks like one fatter rope is actually 2 ropes but because of minimal shading in the printing colours it the 2 ropes appear as one. |

To me, it looks like the top is two ropes per side, but the ones on the right run together to look like a single thick rope.
For the "double rope on same side of hook", it looks like each end of the rope has an eye, with both eyes then placed over the hook. |

PostmasterGS...Here is a closer look at the ropes..I drew a line on the right one to show that 2 ropes are on the same side of the hook.  At least WE can agree, that the "D" in the Canada stamp is over top of the rope...??? |
