The similar ABoK numbers are in ABoK's unique "Chapter 22: Hitches to Masts, Rigging and Cable (Lengthwise Pull)<ref name="ashley304" /> 1st paragraph reads: "To withstand a lengthwise pull without slipping is about the most that can be asked of a hitch. Great care must be exercised in tying the following series of knots, and the impossible must not be expected."<ref name="ashley304" /> A Friction Hitch is on a rope column that you are grabbing with "Lengthwise pull" force wise in this chapter.<ref name="ashley304" />  Not at the best (right) angle to host mount the rest of the book speaks of and shows for working hitches and thus chapter title and preface states.  And so, the Friction Hitches are contained in this chapter on the errant pull angle stated as "Lengthwise Pull".<ref name="ashley304" />  Book shows a 'linear' Half Hitch to precede a Timber Hitch (that shows should pull at right angle to spar) so can pull lengthwise in ABoK#"1733. The timber hitch and half hitch [[Killick hitch]] perhaps best demonstrates the directional force effect as he shows it as the first knot in the chapter right after the previous discussion as context .<ref name="ashley304" />  After showing the Half-Hitch preceding as only conversion for the direction adds: "The knot appears to be universal and invariable"!  <ref name="ashley304" />
