[TheForge] Walter Scadden Workshop on Marine Hardware atFurnace Town

Mon Apr 5 22:40:01 2004

Hey Bruce,
I think you're blowing tubes.
That style anchor had a cast or drop forged shank with a hole in it for the
stock.
The stock was forged with the balls on the end to insure that the stock
couldn't part from the anchor when it was in the stowed position.
Current  ships anchors are called "stockless" anchors.
