They have modified their winch to cut their PE cable. You find the email

I very quickly looked for the cutting method:

Seems to me they converted their Guilutine to have a Brass Anvil on
which a cutting device will cut the Cord/rope, Like an axe or
similar. Guess more direct rather than shearing?

That's my understanding too. I can try to translate the complete article,
but this will take some time.

During rope break training, has the 'float' of spectra been an issue? In
our limited used of 1000ft of spectra on the end of the steel wire, it was
seen to float in a large arc after release. This hang time might be
problematic in the event of an actual break.
