PRICKING THE GARTER.
Double a long strap of stiff tape, and wind it up, beginning at the
bight, or doubled end. Down into the centre of the coil stick a knife
or peg, and show that it
is as you please about the strap being pulled off, or remaining pinned at the double. This is done thus :
If the knife be thrust in at A, the pulling the strap by its two
loose ends must catch the knife at the double. If at B, it will come
freely off.
