A one-page 1869 article from the journal Engineering that reproduces Egbert P. Watson's instructions for plaiting an eight-strand square gasket, used as packing for engine stuffing-boxes. Seven engraved figures show the hands and numbered strands at each stage. The text states the rule that each strand passes under all the others and over two, and it suggests an optional india-rubber core.
