. 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. 145 Bowline knot. Fig. 146 Texas method completed neck, grasp the short end of the rope, and pass it upward through bight B as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 144. Draw the end up until the loop about the horse's neck is of the size de- sired, bend the rope end back on itself to form bight A (Fig. 145), and grasp both sides of the bight with the right hand as shown. Down- ward pulling on the long rope will straighten bight B and will force loop C up over bight A, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 145 and as shown in Fig. 146. Continue pulling until the knot is set firmly. Running bowline.—This is simply a slip knot wherein the loop through which the rope slips is formed by using the bowline knot, as already described. Bowline on a bight.—? To make a loop with a bowline knot in the middle of a long rope, or to get a loop of double rope at the end of a rope, a bow- line knot is tied by the overhand method, using a bight of the rope instead of a single rope. The steps indicated in Fig. 148 are the same as those described for Fig. 135. After arriving at the position shown in Fig. 149, however, the knot is made differently. Instead of bight A being passed around behind the long ropes, it is pulled up through the small loop and then brought downward, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 149, and the whole of the large loop B is passed through the bight A. The bight is then brought back to its starting point and loop B is piilled out again, which brings bight A down into place and produces the finished knot as shown in Fig. 150. Emergency trip sling.— It is sometimes desirable to use a sling that can be tripped, and the load dropped, without slacking up on the hoisting rope as is done with a regular trip sling for hay. I
