pulley-block
A pulley-block, also known as a block and tackle, is a system of two or more pulleys with a rope or cable threaded between them, usually used to lift heavy loads. The pulleys are assembled together to form blocks and then attached to fixed and movable objects so that, when the cable is pulled, the movable block moves up or decreases the amount of force required to lift the load.
