<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a little hard to describe. These types of
fittings are made of two separate pieces. The outer piece screws over the inner
piece. The stranded wire has inner and outer strands. The inner strands fit
inside of the inside fitting while the outer strands wrap over the outside for
the same piece. Then the outer fitting screws over the inside which clamps down
on the inner wire core and wedges the cover wire core between to two fittings.
The whole thing is very strong and I have been told by marine surveyors that
these are actually the strongest type of wire terminals. I know it sounds like a
lot of double talk inner and outer this and that but they do work very well
although expensive.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am replacing all standing rigging and my
question relates to terminal fittings and turnbuckles.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Currently, the rigging is swaged on, and screws
into a turnbuckle, with another screw into a fork fitting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do Norseman and Sta-lok attach to a
turnbuckle? I am having a hard time visualizing this.</FONT></DIV>
