Converting a two way draw traverse rod to a one draw is a very simple process. A rod has a Overlap carrier and an under lap carrier. The names make sense if you view the rod from the front. In the picture below you are viewing the rod from the back and the bottom. The overlap carrier is on the left and the under lap is on the right. The under lap carrier is made to be removable and the direction of the overlap one can be reversed by removing the screw and turning the arm in the opposite direction. This is the default settings for a new rod fresh out of the box.
To convert the rod to a one way draw in either direction lay the rod on a flat surface and then simply pull it apart by extending it as far to the left and right as it will go. The under lap carrier can then be slide out of the rod and you will have something that looks like this:
The string slips between the two notches that are located on the under lap carrier in the manner shown below:
The screw that is shown in the images above and below can be removed to allow you to reverse the direction of the overlap arm so that it points to the proper left or right direction that you need.
Your string can drop from either side of the rod simply by pulling it down on the side you want it on.
The factory default setting is for the string to be on the right.
This is a Kirsch brand rod but most of the major brands work the same way. Graber has the two individual
knots tied together but they should be converted to the double knots as shown in the photos so that you can apply tension to the
pulley. With a one way draw or converted rod is make no difference which string
you pull to apply the tension to the pulley,
