selon leurs obligations et leurs possibilités/aptitudes



In Medieval days the cabletow or rope noose was worn when taking an obligation, as a symbol of submission, inferring that it could be used to inflict the penalty if a breach of that contract was committed... It is doubtful that in Speculative Masonry the cabletow was ever intended to have any physical length but purely as a means of impressing the individual Mason that he was committed to fulfill his obligation to his Lodge and the Brethren, in regard to his attendance, to the utmost of his ability and not to let trivial things prevent him from discharging his responsibility.

Très imagé... Un discours de Texans ? Je pense que cela fait allusion au câble de remorquage d'un pickup par ex.
On pourrait aussi mettre "dans leur champ d'action", mais on est encore plus loin de l'image.
