Safe working limit on the Scillonian


I'm always interested to see data in newtons. I had to look up S.W.L. It stands for "safe working limit". This is calculated by the maximum breaking load divided by some safety factor. 36kN is 36000N or just over 3.5 tonnes. I am still trying to find out what T.L. stands for in this context.
