The splices in group one are the best and
most secure.
The flemish eye with the pressed
metal sleeve is recommended for all rigging and
hoisting use.
When properly fabricated, it
develops almost 100 percent of the catalogue
breaking strength. The strand ends of the spliced
rope are secured against the live portion of the
rope by means of a steel or aluminum sleeve set
in place under pressure.
