Practical wire rope information and useful information on the drag-line cableway excavators . B^MMINQ \A/II?E. F^OW POUR»r«e. SOC» Fis. 6 1^1 NI SHEDSOCKET SOCKEITtN© vs/irelrope: : —24- The Long Splice. The length of sphce is gu\erned l)y the size of rope. Thehirger the diameter of rope, the longer will be the splice. Thelength of the splice for ropes ^ in. to % in. in diameter should notbe less than 25 feet; from % in. to i]/^ in. in diameter 35 feet; andfrom 1]/% in- to ij^ in. in diameter 40 feet. In ordering rope whichis to be spliced, extra length of rope must be ordered equal tolength of splice. For example: It is found necessary to add 200feet to a length of 400 feet of ^ in. diameter rope to get a totallength of 600 feet. The length of splice for ^ in. rope is 25 feetand the total length of rope to be ordered should therefore be 225feet. The tools required for making a splice are as follows: One pair of wire cutters for cutting the strands; one pair of[)liers for pulling them and straightening the ends of strands; twomarline spikes, one round and one oval; a knife to cut
