[Ads-l] wratch

[Jonathan Lighter]

What the...?

2013 Jessica Goodell & John Hearn _Shade It Black_ (Phila.: Casemate) : In
Kuwait, we had to wait for the vehicles—the Humvees and the seven tons as
well as the heavy equipment, the wratches and trams—to arrive before we
could set up for the convoy.

Something to do with "ratchets"?
