Gulbransen "Fishing Pole" Tracking Mechanism Cord
By Diane H. Kay

Hello folks, Mr. Vincent Morgan mentions cording of a style he called
"diamond string".  I used to work in the toy industry so I know a bit
about cording, and it's actually called a "diamond braid" or "Maypole
braid" cord.

I found a couple of sources via an Internet search.  If these suppliers
won't sell to you directly, simply ask them for a distributor in your
area or the names of companies who buy the specific diameter you need
and contact them to sell you a small amount.  It's worth a try!
Here are the links to two suppliers/manufacturers:

Sincerely,
