Hello list
I hope that someone can help me out, I found the reference below and
would like to know if anyone can tell me why wooden strips were inserted
into the long links coal and men alike would be raised in open baskets
(skips or skiffs) or frames by flat chains of 3 links width the links of
which would be alternatively short and long. Through the long links
would be inserted strips of wood
Best Regards
