It is important that the next steps of the procedure
be followed carefully as shown in Fig. C.
Marked A1 strands go
through marked B1 strands.
Marked B2 strands
go through marked
A2 strands.
Unmarked A3 strands
go through unmarked
B3 strands.
Unmarked B4 strands
go through unmarked
A4 strands. Keep
strands untwisted.
After the initial step has been
completed on all strands,
you should have something
that looks like Fig. D. Marry
the ropes as shown in Step
6. This part is preferably a
2-person job.
To start, lay out the marked
and unmarked strands as
they appear in Fig. B.
