Extract cores at Z Marks and pull out completely from the ends of the
ropes. Tape core ends. Slide covers back toward knots/spikes, enhance
Mark 1 on each core. Measure 2-1/2 fid lengths from core Mark 1 toward
knots/spikes and make core Mark 2 on each core.
Extracting the core: Bend rope sharply at Z. With the pusher or any sharp
tool such as an ice pick, awl, or marlin spike, spread the cover strands to
expose core. First pry, then pull the core completely out of cover.
