fb-sling friction knot used as a replacement for the garda knot in a hoist setup
Load is lifted. The friction knot pushes against the biner and lets the rope pass. |
Load has activated the friction knot, which jams the rope. |
A pully decreases the unwanted friction of the biner for approx. 25%. The pully used here is an emergency pully type "Petzl Ultra Leger" |

I think, the drawings and values are clear without the knowledge of the Italian or German language
