Slow and steady and getting the tree where you want it to be before releasing it.
When pulling with a rope attached to my Tirfor cable hook, about as simple as it gets I use two wraps around the hook and then secure with a slip knot or two. Nothing official about it but it has always worked...
X-ray macines in shoe stores to check the fit of kid's shoes. You stood on a little platform beneath a wooden box like affair and the shoe salesman or parents could look through some window things on the top of the machine. It must have been bad for kids, but the salesmen could only have...

A drug store with a lunch counter. They brought you your milkshake in one of those big metal cup things that they stuck in the mixer, poured your shake and sat the container down next to it because it was still about a third to half full.
Anybody remember when soft drink bottles came in machines where you lifted up the lid and the drinks where immersed up to their necks in cold water in a rack? Putting in your money opened up a lock and you could slide the bottle out of the rack and lift it from the water. Who knows what was in...
