Talk:Clove hitch

message: I suggest that a link to the Ground-line hitch be added.  It is considered to be more secure and is just as easy to tie.  The only downside, AFAIK, it that it is not not well known.  I believe I used to have a link to it in the "related knots" section but it looks like someone removed it.  Nascheme 03:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the mention of the Clove Hitch in rock climbing. John Long's "How to Rock Climb" describes use of the clove hitch to tie the climber to a multi-nut anchor, where some slippage of the knot may be useful to equalize strain on the nuts. But this is a rather specialized use, and even Long recommends using a double figure eight instead in most cases. The previous text which stated that the clove hitch is useful for tying into climbing anchors is incomplete at best and recklessly misleading at worst, given the knot's tendency to slip under load. -- Oliver Crow (talk) 23:38, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Most essential 

message: I modified the opening of the article to change the line, "A clove hitch is two successive half hitches tied around an object".
A half hitch is actually a single hitch tied around a rope's standing part; so while a clove hitch made on a rope's standing part makes the knot two half hitches, a clove hitch itself is two single hitches.

thread_title: Double half hitch

message: "A correctly tied two half hitches resembles a clove hitch tied around the standing end of the line, not a cow hitch."
I do not think this is a completely accurate statement.
I was a Boy Scout for 7 years in the 1980s, and was taught the exact opposite. (That the cow hitch version was correct and the clove hitch version incorrect, this was taught at the district level as well) Surprisingly, looking into my Green Bar Bill edition of the Scout Handbook at the time it shows the Clove hitch version.
Earlier this year, during adult Outdoor Leadership Training, I first became aware of this discrepancy, as they were teaching the clove hitch version, and questioned it, discovering that even the Scout Handbooks in the 1980s showed the clove hitch. Shortly after this time I researched it on the internet and found the same information that is now contained in Wikipedia's Taut-Line Hitch article. Taut-line_hitch#.231856 It explains the various versions of taut-line hitches in Howard W. Riley's 1912 Knots book, and their varying properties. The taut-line hitch versions which have the final hitch resembling the clove hitch are described as being more secure, while the cow-like hitch noted for less tendency to twist.
I believe the Two Half Hitches article should be updated to reflect the two half hitch version of this information, which may or may not exist in Riley's guide or other guides. Despite my scouting experience, a source from a farming guide such as Riley's or nautical guide would probably trump our handbook with practicality, precision, and depth of information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanchappell (talk • contribs) 16:50, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Heinz Fischer was in charge of the submarine in a short period of time, surely on Scheringer's license, between May 12 and June 8, 1940, a 13-day patrol. Sheringer commanded the ship until July 1, 1940 when it was sunk and captured.

"The physician Bernard Waldman, a member of the Project Alberta, was assigned to the crew of Necessary Evil, the B-29 that photographied the explosion of Hiroshima. Waldman was responsible for the Pentax camera that could take 7000 frames per second."
"Pentax" is/was a trade name for a Japanese camera firm that was first used after WW 2 (c. 1957) for a model of single lens reflex 35 mm camera. I don't think that US military would be using Japanese photo equipment in 1945 - even if it was available. Also, it seems technically unlikely that a camera capapable of 7000 frames per second existed in 1945. --TGC55 11:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
