Hi again,
Glad to be of help. "Pushing twists in" is a matter of twisting the rope, in the direction that would unwind in situ twists, while overhauling the tackle. So if, for instance, you have left-laid twists in the peak halyard, you would put right lay twists in while lowering the sail. The idea is that the twists you put in, which are at first in the fall, migrate into the inra-block part of things as the sail comes down. Clear?
Stainless steel, hmm? I will talk to the publisher about pocket volumes.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
