and push the knot fully into the recess
provided. See Fig. 64.
3. Holding the reel with the knotted side toward
you, wind the rope on the reel in a clockwise

provided in one of the reel flanges leaving
about
15

clock spring with the end of the clock spring
and set the reel in place. Gently rotate back

looking at the bind screw) about one turn.
