The big top jigs, now a thing of the past and gone with the wind.

That looks like Mr Beatty's drum.

If jigging out isn't done anymore, how are tents made taut?

On Vargas, I observed Frank Pealer ragging out on a Bobcat. One guy tied each rope in turn to the Bobcat, and Frank would tug it hard backwards 3 to 5 times, as his 3rd guy did the loosening and re-tying at the stake. Three men did what big crews once did strictly by hand.
