Year: 1993 Language: English Author: Totem pole scouters foundation Genre: Manual Publisher: Totem pole scouters foundation Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 35 Description: Fastening things together has always been a part of human knowledge ever since the early stages of civilization. For the purpose of fastening things, a number of materials have been used as vines, grass stalks, as well as strips of animal hide and leather thong. Rope probably developed from the thongs. A single thong was found too weak for some purposes, and so two or three thongs had to be combined. To twist the leather strips into a solid rope was a short and natural step. In modern times, the use of ropes became universal. With the improvement in materials and methods came improvement in technique of making rope; and the two present methods, twisting and braiding, slowly evolved. In a twisted rope a few fibers are twisted to the right to form a yarn, then a few yarns are twisted to the left to form a strand. Three or four strands are twisted to the right to form a rope. Three ropes are twisted to the left to form a large cable-laid rope.
