for the fictional British detective Sir John Appleby John Francis Appleby 1840 1917 was an United States American inventor who developed a knotting device to bind grain bundles with twine , which became the foundation for all farm grain binding machinery and was used extensively by all the major manufacturers of large grain harvesting machines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Appleby s knotting device was a major landmark in the mechanization of agriculture and aided the development of the western wheat fields of the United States.

He served with the 23rd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War , from 1862 to 1865. During the war, Appleby invented and patented a manual magazine feed Breech loading weapon breech loading needle gun .

After the war, he returned to Wisconsin and by 1874 had developed a successful wire grain binder. He was unable to gain any financial backing for it because of lack of support from farmers for the use of wire binding because small bits of wire often got into feed grain and were ingested by cattle, causing them harm.

Ashley see Clifford Ashley developed this knot along with similar knots 1453, 1408, & 1425, but left it unnamed. Cyrus L. Day, a friend of Ashley s, gave the name Ashley s Bend to the knot in the book The Art of Knotting & Splicing that name has been adopted by other authors. In the 1930s, Ashley performed security tests for a number of bends for his work for a manufacturer of fabrics. This work is described in item 63 of The Ashley Book of Knots The manufacturer wanted a bend that would not slip when tied in mohair, a stiff slippery material. The jerk testing Ashley performed placed the 1452 bend equal to the barrel knot in exhibiting no slip at all. Results tabulated in item 1543 . All other bends tested exhibited either some slip or outright spill catastrophic failure . Ashley s bend is similar to the Zeppelin bend and the Alpine butterfly bend in consisting of two interlocking overhand knot s. These bends have different ways of interlocking their constituent overhand knot s, as can be seen by inspecting physical examples of the bends. Most references fail to distinguish the distinct ways in which the knot can be dressed. As the two opposed ends enter the knot, they make a sort of vortex that twists the tails in one direction the tails can be oriented such that they are twisted ever tighter together, or put on the other side of each other in which case the setting of the knot can lead to a jamming state.

Baggywrinkle is a soft covering for cables or any other obstructions to reduce sail chafing chafe . There are many points in the rig of a large sailing ship where the sails come into contact with the standing rigging unprotected sails would soon develop holes at the points of contact. Baggywrinkle provides a softer wearing surface for the sail. Baggywrinkle is made from short pieces of yarn cut from old lines that have been taken out of service. Two parallel lengths of marline are stretched between fixed points, and the lengths of yarn are attached using a hitch similar to a cow hitch called a railroad sennit . This creates a long, shaggy fringe which, when the marline is wound around a cable, becomes a large hairy cylinder.
