Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). I4I6 The Cornell Reading-Courses the free end in such a manner as to pinch and to hold it, in a knot, against another tight part of the rope, or in a hitch, against the object to which the rope is attached. This principle is well illustrated in the stevedore's knot (Figs. 69 and 70) and in the half hitch (Fig. 71). Elements of a knot.— The bends that a rope undergoes in the formation of a knot or of a hitch are of three kinds: the bight, the loop or turn, and the round turn. The bight (Fig. 47) is formed by simply bending the "^^2;:ss^. Fig. 48.—Loop or turn Fig. 49.—Round turn rope, keeping the sides parallel; the loop or turn (Fig. 48) is made by crossing the sides of a bight; the round turn (Fig. 49) consists in the further bending of one side of a loop. Knots and hitches are made by combining these elements in different ways conforming to the principles of a knot given above. For example, the half hitch (Fig. 71) is a loop around a rope, with the free end locked under the rope; the clove hitch (Fig. 81) consists of two loops over a post; the sheepshank (Fig. 106) comprises two bights with a loop around each; the anchor bend (Fig. 75) is a round turn and two loops; the bowline knot (Fig. 138) is a loop with a bight through it and around the main rope; and the weaver's knot (Fig 120) is the same as the bowline knot, except that the ends take a somewhat different direction. methods of finishing the end of a rope Relaying an untwisted rope.— The process of building up a rope from strands is called laying a rope, and so twisting together strands that have become untwisted is called relaying. The latter process is illustrated in Fig. 50. The rope being held in the left hand, strand No. i is twisted up tightly b
