because of the staggered arrangement of the vertical engaging straps. The  second  barricade  configuration  (fig.  3-38)  is the E-2/C-2 barricade. A 40 foot opening in the center of the webbing is designed so that props of the E-2/C-2 aircraft  can  pass  through  it  with  minimal  damage  to aircraft   during   arrestment.   The   E-2/C-2   barricade installation   is   comprised   of   an   uncoated,   double webbing   assembly   which   is   factory   preassembled, boxed and shipped ready to rig. DECK RAMPS There are 12 portable deck ramps. They should be numbered  1  through  12  from  port  to  starboard.  The numbering  should  be  large  enough  to  facilitate  easy identification and placement in corresponding positions on the flight deck. The  purpose  of  the  deck  ramps  is  to  secure  the lower  load  straps  in  place  and  cause  the  aircraft  nose wheel to ride up and into the barricade assembly. This protects  the  lower  load  straps  and  also  prevents  the aircraft  from  nosing  under  them  during  a  barricade arrestment. Deck ramps are normally installed by V-1 division personnel during barricade rig evolutions. MULTIPLE-RELEASE ASSEMBLY The multiple-release assemblies provide the connection between the upper and lower load straps of the   barricade   and   the   tensioning   pendants   of   the barricade stanchions. They serve to release the webbing assembly during an aircraft engagement (figs. 3-36 and 3-38.) The    multiple-release    assembly    consists    of    a number of release straps attached to loops at the ends of 3-37 PELICAN HOOK ASSEMBLY AND UPPER TENSION PENDANT TWO WEBBING ASSEMBLIES 40' LOADING STRAPS STRAP CLIPS RELEASE STRAPS ENGAGING STRAPS PARALLEL PENDANT U-SHACKLE EXTENSION LOOPS EXTENSION PENDANT PURCHASE CABLE RED MARKER STRAPS DECK RAMPS CONNECTIONS STRAPS LOWER TENSIONING PENDANT BOOT STANCHION ABEf0338 Figure 3-38.—E2/C2 aircraft barricade installation.
