Black wall hitch. materially increased, it can be used where the rope is to pass through pulleys and small openings. Good, stout wrapping cord should be used for the whipping. A loop of cord is laid along the end of the rope, as shown at A, Fig. 337. The loop is then used to wrap the rope, allowing the side of the loop to pass over the end of the rope. After the rope has been wrapped for a sufficient distance, the ends of the cord are pulled tight and then cut off, as shown at B. Crowning the end of a rope consists in unraveling it for a short distance, usually 5 or 6 inches; then knotting the strands and turning them back and weaving them into the rope. This increases the size of the rope end, but makes a very firm finish. The strands are first knotted as shown at A, Fig. 338. Then with the aid of a pointed, smooth, hardwood stick the loose strands are woven al- Fig. ternately over and under the strands in the rope. When passed under three or more strands of the rope in this manner, the end of each loose strand may be cut off. To prevent kinks and to make a smoother finish, the loose strands may be slightly untwisted as they are woven into the rope. When finished, the crown should have ^hefpsha^k! the appearance of D, Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Davidson, Jay Brownlee, 1880-1957.
