Question 666 Deck General

The correct answer is B) three tucks with whole strands and two tucks with 1/2 the wire cut from the tucking strand. This is the correct answer because the regulations for wire rope eye splices in cargo gear, as specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, require that the splice be made with a minimum of three tucks with whole strands, followed by two tucks with one-half the wire cut from the tucking strand. This helps to ensure the integrity and strength of the splice. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully comply with the regulatory requirements for a proper wire rope eye splice in cargo gear applications.
