I HOPE THAT THOSE FOUR TOPICS
HERE
UNDER WILL MAKE YOU POUNCE ON A CD OF THE BRAIDER ( just see
What's New page to see how to buy
from
Dr John TURNER.)
ASYMMETRIC REGULAR NESTED
CYLINDRICAL KNOTS ( braids for
Schaake)
MONOMER
9L 1B and its polymerisation into 9L 1B
The first figure graphically show the validity of the ( L - 1 ) * B
formula for calculating the number of crossing ( "hole" ; panel or face
) you see that there is 8
or ( L - 1 ) crossings in the 9L 1B so for the whole THK you
need to multiply by B.
You will recall the CORRIDOR ( in turkshead_ 3 ) the monomer is the
right side wall of an upward corridor ( vertical cylinder frame of
reference )
TURK's HEAD KNOTS : HOW
TO ENLARGE THEM.
*** A rewriting of Turk'shead_22 :
diagrams of process ( RIGHT side ; just transpose for LEFT side ) as
explained more than a year ago in .pdf format
- downloadable
Universal appellation I coined are INTER-BIGHT RIM and
PARALLEL BIGHT RIM that contrary to others worked every time whereas
the horizontal
mandrel
and vertical cylinder frame of reference are at odds with
each other
Along a given line of reference ( row, column, whatever ...) all the
crossing must be of same type ( all OVER or all UNDER ) for that line
to be retained in the
TYP-ing of the COD-ing.
AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE STUPIDITY OF
EQUATING
"""CASA KNOTS""" WITH TURK'S HEAD KNOTS.
Some example have been shown ( using SCHAAKE'S ) in
Turkshead_20 previously.
This one is an example of mine, of which in the silly hope that
one or two of the obdurate minds will "open" and see the light ! ;-) I
offer :
You will note that this one is a mosaic of 9L 5B and 12L 5B ( it is not
really attractive and is just an illustration of concept )
CHARACTER
A TRUE THK
THIS KNOT
Comply with GDC RULE
YES
YES
SINGLE STRAND
YES
YES
STRICT OVER ONE - UNDER ONE
YES
YES
ROW AND COLUMN CODE
YES
YES
FOLLOW A THK CORDAGE ROUTE
YES
NO
The use of the word CASA is ( just barely )
tolerable ( it is useless
compared to the
O1-U1 label -what is useless is
stupid in
my book ) if appended to CODE as in CASA CODING as an
equivalent to O1-U1 CODING but is UTTERLY INADEQUATE IF
APPENDED TO KNOT as in a CASA KNOT being understood
as TURKSHEAD KNOT.
What
knots that are O1-U1 are NOT ( to take up a rather funny and bizarre
expression taken from a 'spider' ) automatically "falling
under
the THK umbrella" nor are they CASA knots ( as understood to be another
name for Turk's Head Knots ).
All in all better do without that silly CASA and stay with O1-U1 or
with Turk's head knot.
ISOMETRIC GRID AND HOW TO USE IT TO DRAW KNOTS DIAGRAMS à
la Schaake.
Either you find on the Net a free download of such a grid or you
download it from here. (download will need 90 second for a
56Kbps)
To
print the grid I offer as download used format A4 and the
option
"fit to...." or "scale to fit media" so you will
get the
template I made for myself extending a model I got on the Net.

I think I found a way that works ( at least with the
half-dozen
experiences I made ) of
GENERALIZING
the program for HERRINGBONE-PINEAPPLE to
NESTED-BIGHT INTERWEAVES THAT
ARE NOT PINEAPPLE. Documentation can be found here.
5-PASS STANDARD
HERRINGBONE KNOT FOR THOSE WHO
THOUGHT....
that they had climbed the knots Everest by making a Matthew Walker Knot
then revised their opinion after making a Herringbone Pineapple Knot.
May be they should revised again their opinion after making a 5-PASS (
they will
be very hard put to find a diagram and coding of that in books or the
Net ! )
Standard Herringbone Knot. It does not exist elsewhere.
Herringbone Pineapple (THE PINEAPPLE ) is kindergarten stuff, any
knot-tyer can
make one without too much trouble, even of 5-PASS without any trouble,
but Herringbone Knots (no
nested BIGHT as opposed to compulsory nested-BIGHT for the Pineapple)
are another
story.
The least mistake in observing the proper sequence, even if
you
observe the
proper coding leads to that sort of disaster.
