The ends of the strands should bestraightened and lapped with fine hemp seizing before being put in. Thendispose of the remaining ends alternately in the same manner. Afterhaving done this the rope should be well closed, and any unevenness orirregularity can be taken out by pounding it with a wooden mallet. In cases where ropes are heavily worked, when tucking in the ends,pass No. I over a, and b over No. i. This mode of splicing ensures avery tight grip, and has been found to answer admirably.

In A the end of the rope is simply bent around a gimbal ring,and then covered with clamps, b is very neat in appearance, but cannotbe effected except by skilled workmen, c, d, e are made by, first of all,enlarging the end of the rope to a conical shape—best effected by turningback the wires layer by layer, and binding them down with copper wire,and as the first layers are longer than each succeeding layer, the desiredconical shape is obtained. The ring is made with long tapering endsfitting closely to the rope, and over these three iron rings are drivenwhile hot, which tighten in shrinking. In d rivets are used instead ofthe rings ; and in e the rope is run through the solid iron head untilits con
