cross the fall

cross the fall
A term used in stevedoring, meaning that one layer of the rope on the drum would be put across and on top of another so that the strain would jamb it against the drum, making the winch more safe to operate. It is customary to cross the fall, without regard to how the end of the rope is secured to the drum. Glover v Compagnie Generate Transatlantique (CA5 Tex) 103 F2d 557.
