Pulleys used in Trebuchets

Did you know that the pulley was also used in the trebuchet?

The Trebuchet was a giant sometimes moveable catapult that the pulley was used in.
The pulley was used to make heavy objects lighter than lifting them with your hands.
The pulley was used to lift and fire whatever they wanted to throw.

Hope you enjoyed reading this.
