OK, I have another question. From picture 4 to picture 5 you are picking up almost the complete weight of the block since the roller in picture 5 is very near the other end. You would need one very strong lifting lever and I believe all they had in those days was wood. The part of the lever that is under the block would have to be pretty good size. It sounds logical to do it this way but not very practical.

However, I have been wrong before.
