               Scaffold hitch or stage hitch: specifically designed to support a stage (see
               page 160) or plank of wood. Tied at both ends, the hitch both holds the
               stage horizontally and is also designed to prevent it from slipping. The

               knot can be formed with or without horns (see page 96). Our illustrations
               show both the stage and a horn.
