In order to attain something like uniformity of power and space between the first and the last half of the stroke, the pins are placed in front of the end of the slide. It should be understood that this stroke, properly rowed, is devoid of all jerking movements. Although the oar is actually "yanked" into the body, in order to toss the water from the blade and keep...
