I have no idea what a "trebechut" is Bill, I can only assume you mean the big ole rope wound/powered hickey which twists sticks and other things in order to fling old uprights into the air and some distance downrange.............if so the correct spelling is 'trebuchet'...course trebechut may be just a smaller thingee, for flinging smaller objects, that I am unaware of..........
