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.
Bye for now,
