I dug this out of the archives I have at http://www.qsl.net/mparc/towers.txt
:
<< Preforms are color-coded for EHS wire sizes. The coding is:
1/8" Blue
3/16" Red
1/4" Yellow
9/32" Blue
5/16" Black
3/8" Orange
The colored marks on the grip has two functions:
1) they indicates size and
2) they mark the cross-over spot which is where you start wrapping the legs
around the cable.
There are two crossover paint marks - the first is
for normal cable and the second (farthest from the termination loop) is for
use with insulators. The end of the cable of interest should extend at least
to the crossover marks. >>
