Mentioned in general text: p335t.

Mentioned in Glossary:  Bring up with a RT : Snub, to~ (RT).

Also Indexed under: Figure 8 hitch, Overhand RT~, RT and ~, RT~, Seized RT, Snaking- RT, Three RT?s, Two RT?s, Underhand RT~.

A bit of a marathon I know, but I have tried to include all mentions of the RT in the book in whatever form and application. No doubt the classifications are somewhat arbitrary and subject to opinion, but I?ve placed them where I see them fall. If I did it again they?d probably be different! Take a look and see what you think. I think I?ll try and find something with about 5 entries for the next one!

Just to let you all know that this project has taken a different turn, and the info is currently being encoded in what will eventually be a searchable database online. See the same topic in the computing pages for the mindnumbing details. I will try to get up to date info posted here from time to time, but I think the new twist will be well worth waiting for. Watch this space!

Yes, this is an old thread of mine, which has mutated and gone ...
-- well, I'm not sure (but into both a different thread AND category!).

My hope was to convert the not-user-friendly Index of ABOK into
something much more helpful, as well as accurate.  The PwH post I'm
annotating here shows a great effort to improve the Index; Peter has
gone a bit *astray* in grouping so much under one original Index
entry (viz., "Round turn"), but one can see how that is a help, e.g.,
in the case of "Seized round turn" -- which one might not think to
check for, and in the original appears under the "S"s of course.

Below, I have partly annotated PwH's collection by underscoring the
original entries of the Index, to highlight how much more (and better
arranged) information has been drawn out.  (But as time runs out for
me this late night, I'm quitting before fully making all of the underscores
needed, so the difference is here exaggerated -- but I might Edit this
post later, to rectify that in giving the full picture.)

The change to making some Excel work which is the subject of the
mutated thread resulted in grouping by chapter (work, i.e.),
whereas in my original plan the work might be grouped by letter
(of the Index) .
