Thus, a ship moving at 20 knots is traveling as fast as a land vehicle at about 23 mph (37 km/hr). The term knot log lines , which were used to measure the speed of a ship through the water. Such a line was marked off at intervals by knots tied in the rope. Each interval, or knot, was about 47 feet (14.3 metres) long. When the log was tossed overboard, it remained more or less stationary while its attached log line trailed out from the vessel as the latter moved forward. After 28 seconds had elapsed, the number of knots that had passed overboard was counted. The number of knots that ran out in 28 seconds was roughly the speed of the ship in nautical miles per hour.

Front Page World UK UK Politics ... Help Thursday, March 4, 1999 Published at 12:36 GMT Sci/Tech Solving a knotty problem Yong Mao and Thomas Fink did the research in their spare time BBC Correspondent Sue Nelson surveys the history of tie knots Cambridge scientists have applied the mathematical approach to one of life's most mundane activities - putting on a necktie. Most men are usually half asleep and have a slice of toast in one hand when they knot a piece of material around their necks first thing in the morning. This less than diligent attitude to dressing is one possible excuse for why there are so few knots in everyday usage. There are just four main knots: Four-in-hand - favoured by many and requiring just four movements to complete. Pratt knot - starts with the tie inside out. It became fashionable in the late 80s. Half-Windsor - evolved from its bigger brother ... Windsor - a large knot, reputed to have been invented by the Duke of Windsor. Now two physicists from the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University have attempted to explain the scientific reasons behind our necktie choices. Thomas Fink: Likes the Four-in-hand Thomas Fink and Yong Mao used a mathematical model known as a persistent random walk to examine the sequence of moves involved in knotting a tie.

If you buy ye large tome of knots you'll generally find (along with all the sailing, climbing, and fishing knots) a section marked "decorative knots" (or fancy or ornamental). Contained therein are largely Chinese knots. Chinese knots are, for the most part, two cord lanyard type arrangements where 2 cords enter from the top of the knot and 2 cords leave from the bottom. The knots are usually double-layered and symmetrical. Lydia Chen lists 11 basic knots of Chinese Knotting in her first book . They are: the 4 Flower Knot , the 6 Flower Knot , the Chinese Button Knot , the Double Connection Knot , the Double Coin Knot , the Sauvastika Knot , the Cross Knot , the Square Knot, the Caisson Ceiling Knot , the 2x2 Mystic Knot, and the Good Luck Knot .

Caving Knots Figure-of-Eight Figure-of-nine Bowline Yosemite Bowline ... Prusik knots Figure-of-Eight This is a very versatile knot most commonly used for attaching ropes to anchor points. Most things that can be done with fancier knots (e.g. double loop knots for a Y-belay) can also be done with a suitable combination of figure of eights. If you only learn one knot, make it this one. Strength: 55% (normal), 40% (abnormal) Figure-of-nine The figure-of-nine knot can be used as an alternative to the figure-of-eight. It is very similar to a figure-of-eight with just an extra turn before finishing the knot. It is a little bulkier than the figure-of-eight but has greater strength. Strength: 70% (normal), 55% (abnormal) Bowline This can be used for tying a rope around a belay but is most often used for tying the end of a safety line rope around a person when belaying them up a climb or ladder. This knot does have a tendency to loosen and can come undone so it is a good idea to used a half hitch to secure the "tail" of the knot to the loop. Strength: 50% (normal) Yosemite Bowline This knot was sent to me by Bonnie Crystal This is a variant of the basic bowline which gets around the problem of the knot loosening itself by taking the end of the rope and threading it back through the knot. This is a neat alternative to using a half-hitch to secure the end of the rope and the resulting knot has the strength of a figure of eight.

Most handmade rugs with the exception of kelims are woven by tying knots on the warp strands. http://www.erug.com/learnrugs/learn_detail/knot/lrn_knot.htm

Welcome, Guest Sign In Personal Gallery Cart Home ... Ready to Buy a Rug? I'm looking for: Knot Knot Density Symmetrical Knot Asymmetrical Knot Jufti Knot ... Tibetan Knot Pile-woven or knotted rugs are created by knots. Most handmade rugs with the exception of kelims are woven by tying knots on the warp strands. The type of knot used in weaving and knot density are discussed below. There are different methods by which knots are created. The two predominant types of knots are asymmetrical and symmetrical . There are other kinds of knots as well such as jufti and Tibetan . However, they are not as frequently used. Knot Density Knot density refers to the number of knots per square inch or square decimeter in a handmade rug. Knot density is measured in the imperial system in square inch and in the metric system in square decimeter. Every decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters and approximately 4 inches. Knot density is measured by counting the number of knots per linear inch or decimeter along the warp and weft (visible on the backside of the rug) and multiplying the two numbers. Since usually the two numbers are the same, one number can simply be squared. Knot density is a factor, among many other factors, in the value of workshop rugs or in other words city rugs. Since workshops have more sophisticated tools (though of varying degrees of sophistication) and follow cartoons (drawings on squared paper) for their designs, precision becomes important. Knot density, although irrelevant in durability of the rug, becomes important for creating intricate curvilinear designs because the higher the knot density, the more detailed the design can be. Workshop rugs can have a knot density of between 100 to over 1000 knots per square inch. Rugs of over 1000 knots per square inch are very rare and most likely very expensive. These rugs are generally pure silk with silk foundation because with silk foundation more knots can be tied. With cotton or wool because the strands are thicker, it would be difficult to tie this many knots in one square inch.

95. The Prusik Knot A climbing knot. Includes description, notes, history. http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/prusik_knot.html

The Prusik Knot The Prusik Knot is a variation of the rolling hitch. Some people use it for mast climbing. Since it's not in The Ashley Book of Knots, I tied one around my pen and scanned it. This page used to contain a description written by me, but then Mark Anderson of the vessel Riparia actually did it and wrote a much better description, so with his permission I've replaced my version with his, slightly edited. I've added a few comments and clarifications of my own at the end. Going Up the Mast by Mark Anderson Climbing the mast is a useful skill, can sometimes be fun, sometimes necessary to repair something, and sometimes be lifesaving for you and your boat. There was a thread on going up the mast on rec.boats.cruising in the fall of 1996 that could be referred to, but here's my technique. Remember that going up the mast is inherently dangerous. Knots could untie, lines could break, cleats could break, you could fall out of your Bos'n's chair. Then you'd fall and perhaps be killed, paralyzed, break something, or even damage your boat. Try this at your own risk. I'd suggest securing all knots tied with the ends of the line by seizing or securely taping the ends to the standing part to minimize the risk of line creep and the knots coming loose. I rarely have anyone to hoist me up, so previously I'd used a long tackle. It's getting harder every time, and I don't like the rats nest of 150 ft. of line on deck, (particularly envisioning doing this at sea), so I was determined to try another way. Being a person who loves simplicity and frugality, I avoided buying Jumar ascenders, and succeeded, after some frustrating trials, in using Prusik knots, following a climber friend's description.

98. | NZSS Caving Knots New Zealand Speleological Society. Briefly discusses several common knots in a caving context. http://caves.org.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NZSS/Knots

NZSS Caving Knots NZSS Speleological Society History Membership ... Member Login Caving News Areas Landmarks Search and Rescue ... Links NZ's Deepest NZ's Longest Photo galleries Sitemap It's Knot Homework. Introduction A wide variety of knots are possible to use when caving. Some have advantages over others. Some can be used to impress fellow cavers of your knowledge of knots and rigging skills. However, if you are like the majority of cavers and find it difficult to remember how to tie the multitude of possible knots, then you can get by with learning only two: the figure-8 and the tape knot. These two knots can be used to rig tapes, belay points, rebelays, rope joining and waist belays. Some knots can be tied on a bight. A bight is simply a loose loop or doubled-over rope i.e. the knot is tied with a double thickness in the middle of a rope, rather than with a single thickness at one end. Figure-8 This is an extremely useful knot to learn. If you only learn a few knots, then this is a must. If it is tied on a bight, the loop formed can be used to tie into belays or rebelays. If it is tied on a single thickness of rope, the rope end can be followed back through the knot, allowing you to include a belay point in the loop directly. If another rope end is followed back through the knot, two ropes can be joined. The figure-8 knot is one if the stronger knots used in caving but can become difficult to untie after being directly loaded for a period of time c.f. the butterfly knot. If the knot is loaded between the rope ends, the knot can deform.The knot can be modified to produce two adjustable loops, ideal for equalizing loads on a Y-hang (see diagram). Simply form a large loop when tying the knot on a bight. Feed the end of the loop back through the first part of the knot , then loop it back over the two loops thus formed and pull the slack out using the two loops formed. Note that if one loop is damaged, the other is directly affected also.
