When making a short splice in wire rope _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all tucks go against the lay.
When making a short splice in wire rope, the proper technique is to tuck all of the wires against the lay of the rope. This helps to create a stronger and more secure splice, as the wires are interlocked against the direction of the rope's twist. Tucking the wires against the lay, rather than with the lay, ensures that the splice will not unravel under tension or load.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not follow the proper short splicing technique for wire rope, which requires all tucks to go against the lay.
