Posted By Robert S Woods Raymond, What I was trying to describe was intermediate anchor points the ones between the main anchors that reduce the deflection in the line. Sorry for any confusion but this is one of those wake you up at three in the morning things, which is why I wrote the post so early. Any help with this is genuinely gratefully received.
