🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope splicing and what changes (or does not change) in its strength after splicing • The purpose of parceling and serving on wire or rope (what problems they are meant to prevent) • Differences between efficiency/strength and protection/safety when working with wire rope

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does parceling and serving usually add strength to a splice, or does it mainly provide some other kind of protection? • Think about what wire strands feel like after being cut and spliced—what hazards or issues might they cause to people handling the line or to the rope itself? • Consider which choice sounds like a realistic, practical reason a deckhand or rigger would be told to always parcel and serve a wire eye splice.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether efficiency/strength of a splice is primarily determined by how the splice is made, not by the covering on top of it. • Think about the normal flexibility of wire rope—would a tight serving make it more flexible or less flexible? • Remember that sharp wire ends and corrosion are common concerns; consider which option addresses those concerns most directly.
