Handbook of Knots and Splices

In this handbook of Knots & Splices Charles Gibson gives us a practical and simple guide to all the basic techniques involved in typing hempen, synthetic, and wire ropes. Gibson also advises regarding the construction, care, and strength of ropes blocks and tackles fancy work with ropes including mats and plaits and splicing. The heart of the book, however, is the knots and ropework described in detail and celerity illustrated for easy instruction.
