. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Fig. 73.—Incorrect Fig. 74. Two half hitches -Correct This is secure provided it is well pulled down and set before being subjected to a load. If tied according to Fig. 74, the hitches are easily loosened, but if made as shown in Fig. 73 they will jam tightly. Anchor bend.— This hitch, also called fisherman's bend, is used for fastening a rope securely to a metal ring, such as that on an anchor, with a double rope in contact with the metal to prevent excessive wear. Take a round turn around the ring and then two half hitches around the rope, passing the end for the first half hitch through the loop of the round turn as shown in Fig. 75. In this form the hitch is very secure, but it may be made more so by whipping the end to the main rope as shown in the cut on the first page of this lesson. Timber hitch and half hitch combined.— As shown in Fig. 76, this forms a secure fastening useful in handling long articles that must be kept in line with the pull of the rope. Note that the half hitch is around the object this time, and not around the rope. Clove hitch.— This consists of two half hitches arranged for fastening a rope around an object. It may be made in the middle of a long rope without access to the ends, and will stand a pull from either direction without slipping when once properly set. It is easily.
