Default Re: Traditional ways of tying cables together.

I learnt to do cable lacing whilst I was at Decca (Navigator). I remember that there was a special Decca way of doing it - but can't remember the details now, sadly. The intermediate knots had some extra twists, so that if the cord broke (in service), the knots would not come undone. The start and finish had (something like) a knot round all the wires, then a knot round one wire, then a knot round all the wires, close together. A pity I can't remember the details.
