  1. Western union splice

    The Western Union or Lineman splice was developed during the introduction of the telegraph to mechanically terminate aerial conductors that were subject to loading stress. The wrapping pattern is designed to cause the termination to tighten as the conductors pull against each other. This type of Electrical wiring splice is more suited to solid, rather than stranded wire stranded conductors , and is fairly difficult to complete. ref name NASA cite web url http workmanship.nasa.gov guidadv recmeth wusplice.jsp title Western Union Lineman Splice accessdate 2009 06 05 Dead link date October 2010 bot H3llBot ref The Western Union Splice is made by twisting two ends of a wire together counter clockwise 3 4 of a turn each, finger tight. Then, using needle nose pliers , twist each end three more turns, tightly. Cut off the ends.
