2. Method B (the most common as well as the
easiest uncoiling method): Hold one end of
the rope while rolling the coil along the
ground like a hoop (Figure 4-26).
Incorrect methods of unreeling and uncoiling
wire rope will most likely result in kinks (Figures
4-27 and 4-28). Such improper procedures
should be strenuously avoided in order to prevent
the occurrence of loops. These loops, when
pulled taut, will inevitably result in kinks. No
matter how a kink develops, it will damage
strands and wires, and the kinked section must be
cut out. Proper and careful handling will keep
the wire rope free from kinks.
