How to use "Pulley" in context?
The word "pulley" is derived from the Latin word for reel, probably because early ropes were made from twisted skeins of cloth. Pulleys have been used for centuries to move heavy objects, and they are still widely used in industry.
A pulley is a simple device used to transfer energy between two points. It is made up of a cable or chain, a turntable, and a rowing tool. The cable or chain is connected at one end to the turntable, and the other end is connected to the object being moved.
