A termination made in accordance with the above instructions, and using the number of clips shown, has an approximate 80$%  effi- ciency rating. This rating is based upon the catalog breaking strength of wire rope. If a pulley is used in place of a thimble for turning back the rope, add one additional clip. The number of clips shown is based upon using right regular or lang lay wire rope, 6x19 class or 6x37 class, fibre core or IWRC, IPS or EIPS. If Scale construction or similar large outer wire type construction in the 6x19 class is to be used for sizes 1 in. and larger, add one additional   clip. NOTE The following information is based upon the use of fist grip clips on new rope. The number of clips shown also applies to right regular lay wire rope, 8x19 class, fibre core, IPS, sizes 1-1/2 in. and smaller; and right regular lay wire rope, 18x7 class, fibre core, IPS or EIPS, sizes 1-1/2 and smaller. One of the more popular end attachments for wire rope is the wedge socket. For field or on- the-job attachment, it is easily installed and quickly dismantled. Failure to install wedge sockets in accordance with the following instructions could cause DEATH or serious injury. The recommended method for the installation of wedge sockets is as follows: 1.  Inspect  the  wedge  and  socket.  All  rough edges or burrs that might damage the rope should be removed. 2. If the end of the rope is welded, the welded end should be cut off. This will allow the dis- tortions of the rope strands, caused by the sharp bend around the wedge, to adjust themselves at the end of the line. If the weld is not cut off, the distortions will be forced up the working line. This may result in the development of high strands and wavy rope. For other classes of wire rope not mentioned above, it may be necessary to add additional clips to the number shown. 4 - 4 0 Wedge    Sockets Apply the initial load and retighten nuts to the
