bottom ends of two 4-foot lengths of seine twine. These are the filler

cords. Clamp the top ends of the filler cords similarly, enclosing in the
same clamp and alongside the filler cords the mid-points of two 14-foot
lengths of twine. The bottom ends of these two additional lengths of twine
are called primary cords; the top ends are the secondary knotting cords.
Secure the clamps so the filler cords are stretched taut, as shown at
right. You are now ready to start knotting the lanyard.

2. To make the belt loop, tie a series of square knots around the filler
cords with the primary knotting cords. Pass the working end of the left-
hand knotting cord over the fillers and under the right-hand knotting cord;
then pass the right cord under the fillers and through the bight of the left
cord. To complete the knot reverse the lead of the knotting cords, as

indicated by the arrow.
