I've got this small block and tackle set that has been kicking around for years. The way the ropes are configured seems wrong. While the system works, the ropes always twist around themselves and the resulting drag makes the whole thing pretty useless, especially if the ends are extended far apart.
The fixed end is located between wheels 6 and 7.
What is the right sequence for running the rope through the wheels?
