	Winch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Here, the line winched is a jib or spinnaker sheet which runs from the sail (upper left, not shown) to a block (lower right,not shown) and from there to the lower part of the winch.
		Winches are often embedded in the stage floor and used to move large set pieces on and off.
		The earliest literary reference to a winch can be found in the account of Herodotus of Halicarnassus on the Persian Wars (Histories 7.36), where he describes how wooden winches were used to tighten the cables for a pontoon bridge across the Hellespont in 480 B.C. Winches may have been employed even earlier in Assyria.

	Peter Winch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Guy Winch (1926-1997) was a British philosopher known for his contributions to the philosophy of the social sciences, Wittgenstein scholarship, ethics, and the philosophy of religion.
		Winch is perhaps most famous for his early book, The Idea of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy (1958), an attack on positivism in the social sciences, drawing on the work of R.
		With the decline of interest in Wittgenstein, Winch himself was increasingly neglected and the challenge his arguments presented to much contemporary philosophy was sidestepped or ignored.

	InterOcean systems, inc. - Winch Design Article
		Winches are often required to precisely monitor various operating conditions such as cable payout length, speed, tension and are often called upon to provide such features as active motion compensation, integrated cable cleaning systems, remote control, and computer interface.
		If the requirement states that the winch is to be electro-hydraulic, then the losses in the electric motor (5%) must be added to the losses in the hydraulic pump (5-10%) and the losses in the hydraulic motor (5-10%) plus flow losses (usually 5%) to result in an overall loss of 20%-50% for this system.
		In this case the winch could even be programmed to dwell for preset times at various depths including automatic adjustments of cable length to compensate for drift as well as to spool cable in and out for motion compensation in rough seas.

	Harken:Choosing Winch Power-Brion Toss
		Figure 1: The winch is a rotating lever with the fulcrum of the winch face and force applied by the handle.
		The winch handle is the lever arm, the barrel axis is the fulcrum, and the load is applied at the barrel face.
		Internal gearing in two-and three-speed winches in effect lengthens or shortens the lever arm so you can take up slack quickly when the load is light, then switch gears for greater leverage as the load increases.

	Peter Winch
		Winch’s aim in this book was to follow Collingwood’s aim, in his classic work The Idea of History, of attempting to understand human action as ‘from the inside’, as the action of people with ideas, agents, not merely related to each other ‘externally’ as billiard balls are.
		Winch famously claimed that most of sociology was in truth not any kind of science, but a disguised form of philosophy.
		Winch made important contributions to ethics, to the understanding of the Holocaust, to the philosophy of literature, to Wittgenstein scholarship, and in translating some of Wittgenstein’s work.

		Probably the biggest winch rival is between the electric and the hydraulic winch.
		It seems that the majority of the time I spend winching (either myself or someone else), is done from within the cab.
		Unlike the factory winch remote, which is always "hot", I wired the in-cab master switch to one of the ignition-switched circuits on my Painless Wiring Circuit Isolator.

		Permanent magnet motors are good for light and medium duty winches, but winching time and load has to be carefully monitored as they tend to overheat.
		Receiver mounted winches are very useful, but remember their static pull load is limited by the receiver they fit into.
		Winch cable is aircraft grade cable and has a breaking strain of 32,000lbs - much higher than the capacity of the winch.

	Army Forward Control Nokken Winch
		Being a capstan winch, the cable load is constant, unlike an electric drum winch which is dependent upon how much cable is on the drum and upon the state of the battery.
		The winch clutch on a forward control 101" is adjusted to ensure slippage between 2100 and 2200 kilogram force by delivery on cable load.
		A jerking motion indicates the winch clutch is slipping.

		The electric winches are not able to perform in extreme weather conditions, such as in a desert where the electric motor overheats quickly or when it becomes very cold and the battery loses its power.
		Inspect all winch mounts, pulleys, straps and clevis pins; remove any of the part if it is damaged, or showing signs of fatigue.

		The first part of the discussion is directed to a winch design that uses a standard pulley type winch with a single pulley.
		A later section discusses the two drum winch for two way operation and the final section describes the rather more complex design required for a continuous two way winch design that would be used for a dome that had to be rotated continuously in either direction.
		For a winch to work, there must be tension in the output side of the cable.

		Choosing a winch may appear to be a trial and error process.
		Unfortunately, winches tend to be rather expensive, meaning that this is probably not the best way to go about it.
		A winch's power can also be increased if you use double-grip handles, allowing both arms to more easily grind the winch at the same time.

		Under the hood of this winch is some modern technology that puts T-Max in a class by itself.
		Though the four bolts that held the winch to the bumper were standard, the two bolts that mounted the four-roller fairlead were metric (remember, the winch is made in China) and bigger than standard fairlead bolts.
