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.

The big top jigs, now a thing of the past and gone with the wind.
That looks like Mr Beatty's drum.
Does that chair look like his?
These men were Bird Liver's crew
If jigging out isn't done anymore, how are tents made taut?
