An article exploring whether some hitches are securer than others, whether there is a limit to the load that can be placed on a hitch before it fails because the free end slips through the knot, and whether there is some way to alter a normal hitch so that it can withstand a heavier load. Black and white photocopy, originally published in the Scientific American Vol. 249, No. 2 (August 1983), pp. 120, 123-127. 6 stapled sheets.
