As rigs became taller by the end of the 19th century, masts relied more heavily on successive spars, stepped one atop the other to form the whole, from bottom to top: the <i>lower mast</i>, <i>top mast</i>, and <i>topgallant mast</i>. This construction relies heavily on support by a complex array of stays and shrouds. Each stay in either the fore-and-aft or athwartships direction has a corresponding one in the opposite direction providing counter-tension. Fore-and-aft the system of tensioning start with the stays that are anchored in front of each mast. Shrouds are tensioned by pairs of <a href="/wiki/Deadeye" title="Deadeye">deadeyes</a>, circular blocks that have the large-diameter line run around them, whilst multiple holes allow smaller line—<i>lanyards</i>—to pass multiple times between the two and thereby allow tensioning of the shroud. In addition to overlapping the mast below, the top mast and topgallant mast are supported laterally by shrouds that pass around either a platform, called a "<a href="/wiki/Top_(sailing_ship)" title="Top (sailing ship)">top</a>", or cross-wise beams, called "<a href="/wiki/Crosstrees" title="Crosstrees">crosstrees</a>". Each additional mast segment is supported fore and aft by a series of stays that lead forward. These lines are countered in tension by backstays, which are secured along the sides of the vessel behind the shrouds.<sup id="cite_ref-Wolfram_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wolfram-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Running">Running</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rigging&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Running"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Running_rigging" title="Running rigging">Running rigging</a></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Running_rigging" title="Running rigging">Running rigging</a> is the cordage used to control the shape and position of the sails.
