Let's call this one the descent 'Blade' and although this is not one of the devices on the design list, we may refer back to it for 'essential parts'.
Let's just call it the "Titan," which is its real name (OK, transliterated from the Russian Cyrillic alphabet).

The lower left hand 8 on the "moving in" photo is the Fisher, which (as far as I can tell) was the original figure 8 design from the UK. Scary piece.

The "number" descenders show my warped sense of humor , and my belief that you can rappel on almost any sufficiently irregular piece of metal that has round edges and a hole to clip in. They all work.

Photos showing the complete display will be on my web site shortly.

...and yes, I partied hard!
