To secure the fore top lever to the after, in order that a back hit may not separate them, the small lanyards, with an eye in one end, and whipped at the other, are first placed over the eyes in the fore top lever, then rove through the brass hole in the after top lever, in opposite directions, passed up through the eyes in the fore top lever, and knotted over it. The distance from the eyes in the fore top lever to the hole in the after top lever is so arranged that it will not interfere with the descent of them. The fore-locks for the various bolts which fix the levers are made of fishing-line. After knotting them, the ends should be secured together by a seizing of thread.
