    Code 740 Field Gang Work Leader James Buchanan acts as a line handler to regulate free end line tension as the capstan rotation begins. Free end tension was modulated to reach and maintain tension on the load line which was monitored with a wireless load cell. A major point of the evaluation was controlling the load line tension in the kinetic friction region of the capstan head.
