wedge capping
A winding rope capping consisting of two tapered iron wedges that encircle the rope, the end of which is prevented from unravelling by casting onto it a small block of white metal. The wedges are contained by a steel bow, over which four or five wrought-iron hoops are driven. The greater the pull on the rope, the more the wedges grip it as they are drawn into the encircling hoops.
