Rotary clothes dryer - string assembly

[pooksahib]

Wondering if anyone has ever had a snapped string with one of these (a 'Hills'). It looks to me like each row is a standalone length of string because I don't see any sign of the string moving to the next row. Would that be right?
If so, then the inner rows must have the ends of the string meeting in the tensioner, yes?
The outer row has no tensioner and the end of each arm looks identical, no sign of the start or end of the string. It's my outer row that's snapped so any tips on the best way to knot off or twist the string around the plastic gizmo at the end of the arm are most welcome. Thanks.

Just buy a new line and fit?
They do rot with the sun so you need to replace line.
I do ours every 2 to 3 years.
Current one had gone sticky which causes it to grab and not slide easily through holes which is required to easily get up and down plus even out tension..

Thanks, Wayners, but what I'm looking for is confirmation that, on my type of dryer, each row is one individual length of rope (as opposed to a single length from middle to outer as most models seem to be). And how exactly to tie on/off the outer row using that bit at the end of each arm.

This line?

Doubt very much that they will be thread through the arms so I would guess they are individual rings. Take one off and see

Aye, that's the one, Wayners. Thanks jj4091. There's nothing on t'internet, as far as I can see, about this type of stringage - all the YT vids I've seen show dryers with one loooong length of rope but, having peered very closely at mine, it's deffo just one string per round.
I imagine the inner circles' strings start and end inside the tensioner but my outer circle looks like some kind of optical illusion: the string is wrapped round the plastic bit at the end of the arms and all 4 are identical, you can't spot the start/end. Been done at the factory, obviously, but I'd just like to know how to do it that way myself...
