The correct way to make an eye in a wire rope with clips is to place the clips with the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) U-bolts of all clips on the bitter end.
The proper way to make an eye in a wire rope using clips is to place the U-bolts of all the clips on the bitter end (the end of the rope that is being looped back to form the eye). This configuration provides the maximum holding power and distributes the load evenly across the entire eye. Placing the U-bolts on the standing part of the rope would not grip the rope as securely and could cause the eye to fail under load.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the standard practice of placing all U-bolts on the bitter end of the rope. Mixing the orientation of the clips would result in an eye that is not as strong or reliable.
