1947 K. Tarbuck in Wayfarers' Jrnl. No. 8. 52 The practical advantages of the Tarbuck knot lie in its adjustability. It can easily be slid up or down the standing rope by hand in order to vary the size of the loop.

1950 tr. Mountaineering Handbk. (Assoc. Brit. Members Swiss Alpine Club) App. 167 The end of the rope..is tied..with a Tarbuck knot... Although in its general action this knot is similar to the Prusik knot, it has in addition a remarkable shock-absorbing run when subjected to a severe shock load.
