To form a knot to join two ties together in a lock knot, the first tie is turned back by the inverse square of its length in one or more coils for the lock of the knot. The second tie is passed into the first, for the intersection between them. The overlapping loops of the lock section are drawn tight to give the interlaced knot. Also claimed is a knotting appts. with a distributor opening (a) r...
