Introduction
The ME-9448B Super Pulley with Clamp is designed to be
used wherever an integral clamp that features the low fric-
tion characteristics of the PASCO Super Pulley is needed.
The clamp has two positions for attaching the Super Pulley.
The pulley can be moved from one position to the other by
removing two thumbscrews on either side of the clamp.
Once the pulley is in the desired position, replace the thumb-
screws to hold the pulley in place.
