shall be at a distance from the second equal to the length of the tapered portion of the socket. For preformed rope, the seizing shall be at a distance from the end of the rope equal to the length of the tapered portion of the socket plus the length of the portion of the rope to be turned in. 3. Spreading of Rope Strands: After the rope has been seized, it shall be inserted into the socket through the hole in the small end a sufficient distance for manipulation; and where non-preformed rope is used, the first two seizings shall be removed. The rope strands shall then be spread apart and where rope with fibre core is used the fibre core shall cut away as close as possible to the remaining seizing. 4. *Removal of Grease or Oil: Grease and oil shall be removed by cleaning the outer surface of the exposed rope strands with a non-flammable low-toxic solvent. 5. Turning in of Rope Strands: The exposed rope strands shall then be bent, turned in and bunched closely together, each strand being turned back the same distance. The portion turned in shall have a length of not less than two and one-half (2-1/2) times the diameter of the rope and such that, when the rope is pulled as far as possible into the socket, the bend of the turnedin strands shall be slightly overflush with the mouth of the tapered socket (large end) and will be visible when the socket has been babbitted. Where rope with steel core is used, the steel core shall be cut off even with tops of the looped strands. 138 TEXTO EN ESPAÑOL USAS, A17.1 corresponde al largo de las trenzas del
