Table 9: "Flat Top" Eights

• These are smaller than average.
• The flat top allows reducing the size somewhat without reducing friction as much as shrinking a round rope hole would.
• The flat top reduces rope twisting slightly, but not much: the main twisting still comes from the rope passing around the shaft.
• The SMC eights are milled from plate, the others are forged. All of these are made from an aluminum alloy.
• Some are unfinished, some are soft anodized, and some are hard anodized.
• In this table, special shading in the ID field background indicates eights that are particularly similar except for markings and possibly finish.

Table 10: Full Size, Milled Plate Eights

• These are typical eights in size and shape
• The Manaraga, Version B is steel, and the others are aluminum.

Table 11: Large Milled Plate Eights

• These are larger than normal. I use a height of >150 mm as the criteria for placing an eight into this category.
• These eights are from an aluminum alloy plate.

Table 12: Guide Hole Eights

• These eights have projections inside the rope hole that guide the rope to some degree or another.
