I'm with Benboncan. Would somebody provide the images for ABOK #1150 & #1074 please?
verbal images :
tied like the common bowline #1010,
but using a bight vice single-strand working end,
hence getting (if desired for use) two eyes --the
normal one, and this tail bight;
in #1150, Ashley indicates that the tail bight is
tucked through the central nipping loop so that
it is crosses itself slightly and is against the
crossing-part of the nipping loop (i.e., where the
SPart has come full circle to complete the loop);
This is the position that the draw of the SPart upon
loading would tend to pull this tail bight.
Whereas in #1074, although with less indiction in
his
tying image, he shows the finished knot with
the tail bight crossing itself on the away-from-this-spot
point (so its first pass "through the hole" is what is
against the SPart's crossing point). (One might put
a
bowline's tail here in anticipation of loading's draw
moving it around, and then under load it would come
to be where many illustrations show it : centered
between the eye legs (and not pulled up & across
the tail-side eye leg --which is the direction one takes
it, e.g., when making the infamous
"Yosemite bowline",
so beloved by Agent_Smith.
Now, aside from where the tail-bight as a hole is
taken, there is also the aspect of which side of this
tail-bight has the actual tail and which is the parallel
side --in loading it (the tail, i.e., partly) as part of the
trucker's hitch this aspect might play more of a role
in determining how "jamming" it is. (Frankly, I was
quite surprised and skeptical to read Knot4U's remark
about this "jamming up" on him!? It's a
bowline,so it shouldn't jam (esp. in working loads!).
