Question 2165 Deck General
70% to passWhen you "end for end" a wire rope, you _______________.
A
splice two wire ropes together
B
cut off the free end and bitter end of the rope
C
remove the wire rope from the drum and turn it over, so the wire bends in the opposite direction
D
remove the wire rope from the drum and reverse it so that the free end becomes the bitter end
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) remove the wire rope from the drum and reverse it so that the free end becomes the bitter end. Ending a wire rope "end for end" refers to the process of removing the wire rope from the drum and reversing its orientation, so that the free/working end becomes the bitter/fixed end, and vice versa. This helps to evenly distribute the wear and tear on the rope, extending its usable life. The other options, such as splicing two ropes together or simply cutting off the ends, do not accurately describe the "end for end" procedure.
