What it is Filled
A binding of rope, cord or wire used to secure two or more poles or objects together, with specific forms such as the square lashing for crossing poles already in contact, commonly at right angles, the diagonal lashing for crossing poles that tend to spring apart, including poles crossing at right angles, the shear lashing for two parallel poles that open into an A-frame, and the tripod lashing for three poles; lashings are used in pioneering, scouting, sailing, construction and cargo securing.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain lashings and their kinds, relay uses and principles from knot, scouting and rigging sources, describe the lashings the registry aliases name, and distinguish lashings from hitches, bends, whippings and cargo straps.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Multiple wraps
- Frapping turns
- Binds poles
- Several named forms
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Approve a lashed structure for people to climb or stand on without inspection by a competent person.
- Recommend degraded or unsuitable rope for load-bearing lashings.
- Confuse a lashing with a simple knot when strength matters.
- Lash loads or people in a way that restricts breathing or circulation.
Only with a human decision
- Allowing people to use a lashed structure such as a tower or bridge.
May
- Explain types of lashing such as square, diagonal, shear and tripod lashings.
- Inspect lashings on structures it is authorized to check and report weak or worn ones.
Moral aspects Filled
- Poor lashings in pioneering and construction have caused falls and collapses.
- Scouting projects put children on lashed structures, so safety comes first.
Who is affected
- Children in scouting
- Builders and sailors
- People using lashed structures
Owners Filled
Steward
The person or group that builds the lashed structure.
