Designed in the 1990-ies with the same design requirements as the QLK double-entry rope thread. This thread was not designed from scratch, but based on the existing AR tapered rope thread.
The main improvement of the 2R thread over the AR thread is the number of turns required to lock / unlock (3.5 turns). It was not stronger than the AR thread and not as easy to clean as the QLK thread.
