[Archers] Wikipedia: Arithmetic Rope

[neacalban1 at aol.com]

 huh, well, thanks for the reminder to make the measuring rope with knots every 3 feet and a loop to go round the flag pole of my Period clout shoot setup. If I remember to make measuring rope, I won't have to measure by bow length from the pole. ah,well, I suppose baksheesh will no longer enter into things. I usetocould  use a yumi for those who paid, and a Turkish bow for those who didn't.... ;-)

Noble Friends,
Ever wonder how medieval builders measured stuff, you know, distance, angles, made circles. It was by a simple device called an "arithmetic rope". This was  simple rope with equidistant knots in it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_rope . Neat solution.
Yours Aye,
