🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope care and protection terms (serving, parcelling, worming) • Differences between splices and protective wrappings • What marline and canvas strips are used for on standing rigging

💭 Think About

• First, separate any answer choices that clearly describe a splice from those that describe a protective covering on the outside of the rope. • Among the remaining choices, think about which one specifically protects the outer wires of a wire rope from wear and corrosion, not just fills grooves or covers line in general. • Ask yourself: when you "serve" a wire, are you mainly changing its structure or just adding an outside protective layer wound under tension?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly describes a splice (joining two ropes by interweaving strands) and rule it out as "serving". • Look for the choice that involves tight winding under tension around the rope to protect it from abrasion and corrosion. • Confirm that the correct description would normally be done after worming and parcelling when protecting standing rigging or wire rope.
