Methods of Launch
Horse and cart (once, about 18th century)
Foot launch
Shoulder launch (as described by the late Ann Welch, I believe)
Reverse pulley (Lots of us have)
forward pulley (seen it once)
gas-turbine self launch? (think I saw a video)
Pulse jet self-launch? (was the Caproni jet version pulse rather than
gas turbine?)
(Can't see them in the list above)
And planned - dropping a weight (Colditz)
