Jutsum, Captain J. Netherclift

Knots and Splices

A very Complete Work

1920, The Nautical Press, James Brown & Son, Glasgow

The Interlacings Shown in Separate Colours. With Tables of Strenghts of Ropes, Etc., and Wire Rigging. All about ropes, whipping the ends, knots in all shapes and forms, splices, purchases (not buying things, but hoisting loads with blocks and tackles), and odds and ends such as the decorative Turk's Head, how to fit flags together (for signaling purposes), barrel slings and mousing hooks. All used for nautical purposes but some items quite familiar to needleworkers.
