Single Rope Technique SRT is a set of methods used to descend and ascend on the same single rope. SRT is used in caving , potholing , rock climbing , canyoning , roped access for building maintenance and by arborist s for tree climbing . Historical Developments In the 1930s, as caving became increasingly popular in France, several clubs in the Alps made vertical cave exploration an outdoor sport. During WWII, such a team composed of Pierre Chevalier , Fernand Petzl , Charles Petit Didier and others explored the Dent de Crolles cave system near Grenoble , France which became the deepest explored cave in the world 658m at that time. The lack of available equipment during the war forced Pierre Chevalier and the rest of the team to develop their own equipment, leading to technical innovation. The first use of single rope technique with prusik and mechanical rope ascenders Henri Brenot s monkeys , first used by Chevalier and Brenot in a cave in 1934 can be directly traced back to the exploration of the Dent de Crolles cave system.

It was submitted as part of a United States Army Air Corps competition held in the winter of 1939. The fuselage was round and barrel shaped, with the pilot in the nose and the piston engine behind him, driving a pair of contra rotating Propeller aircraft propeller s at the rear of the fuselage in a pusher configuration . The wings were mid fuselage and swept back at an angle of 20 degrees, and the Tailplane horizontal stabilizer was connected at each end to Twin boom booms from the wings, similar to the P 38 Lightning s layout. The design was one of six chosen for further development, but was then canceled 25 November 1941 in favor of a new design called the XP 59, which was unrelated to the later jet powered Bell P 59 Airacomet .

It should not be mistaken with the hook above , a diacritical mark used in Vietnamese, or the R colored vowel rhotic hook , used in the International Phonetic Alphabet . Letters with hook It could be argued that the hook was used to derive the letter J from the letter I, or the letter Eng from the letter N, however these letters are usually not identified as being formed with the hook. Most letters with hook are used in the International phonetic alphabet , and many languages use them along with capitals representing the same sounds. The hook often attaches to the top part of the letter, sometimes replacing the ascender.

Wiktionary In typography , a descender is the portion of a grapheme letter that extends below the Baseline typography baseline of a typeface font . The line that descenders reach down to is known as the beard line . For example, in the letter y , the descender would be the tail, or that portion of the diagonal line which lies below the v created by the two lines converging. In the letter p at right, it is the stem reaching down past the o . In most fonts, descenders are reserved for lowercase characters such as g , j , q , p , y , and sometimes f . Some fonts, however, also use descenders for some Numerical digit numerals typically 3 , 4 , 5 , 7 , and 9 . Such numerals are called old style numeral s. Some Italic type italic fonts, such as Computer Modern Computer Modern italic , put a descender on the numeral 4 but not on any other numerals. Such fonts are not considered old style.

Image Piers plowman drolleries.gif right thumb Page from a 14th century Psalter , with blackletter sine pedibus text. In palaeography , a minim is a short, vertical stroke used in handwriting. The word is derived from the Latin minimum , meaning least or smallest . A minim is the basic stroke for the letters i, m, n, and u in uncial script and later scripts deriving from it. Parts of other letters are based on minims as well when a minim is extended above the line, it becomes an Ascender typography ascender , as in the letters d and b, and when it is extended below the line, it becomes a descender , as in the letters p and q. It is a stem when it forms only part of a letter, such as r. Minims often have a connecting stroke which makes it clear that they form an m, n, etc. however, in blackletter Gothic scripts, also known as textualis especially in late examples, minims do not connect to each other at all and it is nearly impossible to tell what letter is meant. A 14th century example of this is mimi numinum niuium minimi munium nimium uini muniminum imminui uiui minimum uolunt the smallest mimes of the gods of snow do not wish at all in their life that the great duty of the defences of the wine be diminished .
