Barbara, You might Find this topic answers your question.  Cheers

A becket is the loop (eye) of rope on one end of the block. It typically takes the standing end of the tackle fall. The fall is the rope that reeves through the sheaves of the blocks. The standing end is the end of the rope that is fixed (does not move), with the other end of the rope being known as the running or hauling part.

 

Sometimes the becket is part of the block strop. In other applications the becket is a separate loop of rope attached to the strop.  The standing end of the tackle fall is fastened to the becket using a becket bend (I know, creative naming).

 

Regards,
