Sorry, no more callers, please. We already have a winner.

The little clothesline came with the house, actually. It's mounted on one of the main supporting posts in the basement and the line pulls out and hooks over a couple cup hooks on the next post about eight feet away. The knob/lever locks the spool from unwinding any further under the weight of the wet clothes and when they're dry and taken away, you twist the knob and the lever lifts up and the spring winds the string back in zzZZZZZIIIIIIPPPP! This fun was done at fullspeed too many times and eventually caused a snarl on the takeup reel. I unmounted the unit and took it apart, unsnarled the line, rewound it and reassembled it. While it was in my hand, I thought of this little thread.

glatt is the winner again!!
