PE - Crows Feet

[Stephen Wyley]

Hi Matthew,

Some of the knots shown in 16th century German wood cuts seem quite 
simple. I would have to get out my knot references and compare them 
to the wood cuts to tell you what type of knots they are though.

I suggest the same as for the main guy rope, so tension is evenly 
spread between the attachment points.
