Abstract
A method of applying a knotted lacing cord or yarn to an elongated bundle of electrical wires comprises the steps of forming a set of loosely knotted adjacent loops of larger diameter than the bundle from a continuous length of a lacing cord, passing the plurality of loops over a free end of the bundle, securing the first loop at an adjacent said free end by knotting or otherwise clamping it thereto followed by pulling on the free opposite end of the lacing cord to progressively tighten successive loops about the bundle, at spaced intervals along the length of the latter.

A method of applying a knotted lacing cord to a bundle of elongated substrates comprising the steps of forming a set of loosely knotted side-by-side loops of larger diameter than the bundle from a continuous length of a lacing cord, placing the set of loops over a free end of said bundle and securing at least a first loop of said set to said bundle, followed by progressive lengthwise displacement of said set of loops away from said first loop lenghtwise of the bundle so as to progressively tighten successive knotted loops about the bundle at spaced intervals along the length of the latter.
