Tetragrammaton

Why did the King James translators render YHWH sometimes as LORD and sometimes as JEHOVAH? what was their criterion?

Re: Tetragrammaton YHWH

I think that the KJV used "the LORD= (ORD in small caps) normally, but when Adonai was coupled with YHWH (the tetragrammaton) & since Adonai is translated as "Lord" (ord in lower case), KJV used Jehovah to avoid anything like "Lord the LORD" for Adonai YHWH. Do some google to verify that (or refute it).
