Fig. 57 Wall knot begun Wall knot.— When a small knob on the end of a rope is desirable, or when such a knob is not objectionable and a quick and secure method of fastening the strands is need- ed, the wall knot may be used. This is made according to the following direc- tions: Unlay the rope for five or ten inches or more, depending on the size. Holding the rope in the left hand with the loose strands up, take any strand, as No. i, lay it down and across the rope with the end toward the right, and hold it in place with the left thumb as shown in Fig. 56. Take the next strand to the right, No. 2, and pass it around the end of No. i as shown by the arrow in Fig. 56. Before releasing No. 2 take the left thumb off No. i and use it to hold No. 2 as in Fig. 57. Strand No. 3 is now to be passed around the end of No. 2 and up through the loop of No. i, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 57 and as shown in Fig. 58. The knot should next be tightened by pulling all of the strands, one after the other, until it appears as in Fig. 59. The last steps are to pull the strands closely together in the center, roll the knot toward the end of the rope to hold them, and cut the strands 3 sufficiently long to insure their not pulling back. Crowning is a very neat, ] secure, and per- manent method of fastening the strands of a rope when a slight enlargement of the end is not an objection. This is done in the follo\ving manner: Unlay the rope for five to ten inches or more, according to the 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 New York State College of Agr
