crossbeam

“If the ropes were tied to the crossbeam, they would be safer, and almost as effective,” said the vicar.

He swung the rope over the crossbeam and paid it out until the end was clutched by the uplifted hands of those below.

A crossbeam joined them, which was itself a monorail, along which a man-carrying car ran.

Well, the next morning he was found hanging to the crossbeam of the signboard.
