(2) Coiling and uncoiling. Because of the way in which rope is twisted in its manufacture, it must always be coiled and un- coiled in certain definite ways to avoid trouble from kinks. The usual method is to coil the rope around " with the sun," or with the hands of the clock, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 45. In this case, in un- coiling turn the coil over and draw the end A up from the inverted coil; or the end last laid down may be drawn off the top of the coil if desired. If end A is drawn up through the center of the coil as shown in the cut, the rope will twist and kink. When uncoiling a new bale of rope from the factory, however, it is nec- essary to reverse these directions. The end A will always be found inside of the bale near one end of it. Place the bale with this end down and draw the rope end A up through the center of the bale. In this case this procedure will prevent kinking, as bales are laid up in the factory in a direction " against the sun" instead of with it. The same remarks apply to binder twine; if the end is not drawn out as directed on the tag on each ball, the twine will soon kink, catch, and break. (3) The proper method of undoing snarls. In order to disentangle a snarl, begin by loosening it, drawing out one end as far as possible as shown at A in Fig. 46, and then opening the center of the snarl so as to form a hole of considerable size around the rope A. The whole bundle of tangled rope is then seized and forced through the hole thus made, putting the outside part of the bundle through first as shown by the arrows in Fig. 46, a process mu
