Default Pre-launch Checklists.

Once the cable is attached the launch marshall gives
the 'take up slack' and 'all out' orders. The pilot
is assumed to be ready if he has the cable attached.
The pilot can of course abort the launch by operating
the release at any time, provided he is not incapacitated
that is.

launch to commence, someone does that for him'

Wow! that changed since I was there. What happened
to one finger for
take up slack and 2 fingers for 'all out'. How is
it done now?
