🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe preparation of wire rope ends before socketing • Purpose of poured metal (babbitt/zinc) sockets • Why internal strands and core of the wire must be properly arranged and secured inside the socket

💭 Think About

• Which step must be done before any molten metal is poured so the wires stay correctly positioned inside the socket? • Think about which option would help the individual wire strands not slip or shift while the metal is being poured and hardening. • Which choices sound like general metal- or rope-handling actions, and which one is clearly about controlling the wire inside the socket?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly affects the wire portion that goes inside the socket, not the outside. • Eliminate any step that would damage the rope or is unrelated to socketing practice (for example, corrosive treatments). • Choose the option that would help maintain proper shape and position of the wire strands during the pour.
