2.3.10.1 Single Lace
Single lace can be started with a
square knot and at least two marling
hitches drawn tightly. Details of the
square knot and marling hitch are
shown in figure 2-41. Do not confuse
the marling hitch with a half hitch. In
the marling hitch, the end is passed
over and under the strand, as shown
in view A of the figure. After
forming the marling hitches, draw
them tightly against the square knot,
as shown in view B. The lace
consists of a series of marling hitches
evenly spaced at 1/2-inch to 1-inch
intervals along the length of the
group of conductors, as shown in
view C of the figure.
