[edit] Types of Rowlocks

As I was learning about rowlocks, I was specifically looking for examples/pictures of specific types of rowlocks (e.g. tholes). I submit that this supplementary information would greatly enhance this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.228.144.95 (talk) 19:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Pronunciation

Is this word pronounced "row-lock" or "rollock"? --Yeti Hunter (talk) 13:52, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
