I built complete theatre rigging systems for many years and recently retired. We put a 3/4" thimble through the arbor top and bottom eye bolts. We closed the thimble and fed our handline though. Then we split the rope and fed the tail though the split. It made a real nice tight fit. We used a monkey fist knot. Any thoughts?
When it comes to the terminations, technically there is no incorrect knot. That being said the half hitches are my go-to because they make it easy to control the position of the tension block while you tie the the knot and if you do 3 of them, you have redundancy in systems where the knot hits the the idler block.
