Suspension Splicing Detail Documentation

Suspension Splicing Detail #1

While lashing was being done on the axle and supports, splicing had to be done on rope to make the heavier suspension system. A total of four splices had to be done for each rope. For each of the four ropes, a back splice, an eye splice, a side splice, and a toggle splice had to be done.

Here, Glenn Dickey, is doing a toggle splice on one of the rope ends.
