Have always suspected that the `toggle rope´ is part of one of those myths that are now self perpetuating.

I have seen vintage pictures, both British and American, showing soldiers equipped with a "toggle rope". And I remember reading, back while going through FAOBC in 1973, a World War 2 period manual I found in the "stacks" of the Morris Sweat Library at Fort Sill that made reference to "toggle rope". I wish I could remember what that manual was. So "toggle ropes" are not myths. I have found a lot of article on how to make one and I have made a couple in accordance with those articles. But I have not seen any "OFFICIAL" document giving the specifications for an "OFFICIAL "toggle rope".
