Item 1198

Construction: Using the September 12, 2003 Method

  1. Put spacer between two bundles going to the same end thimble. This is so that the real of thread can be passed between the two bundles
  2. Apply constant tension on thread when wrapping.
  3. Remove three spacers, and possible push end thimbles out to tension threads. Perhaps work assembly as end thimbles are slowly extended so as to equalize the tension on all thread.
  4. Bind strand between yoke and center thereby increasing tension. This will also remove most of the tendency to twist.
  5. Epoxy binding and possible also the strands. It the tie-bar assembly to handle a small amount of tension?
