The live or working part of the wire rests in the casting. The U-bolt bears on the dead end, or the one you can see the end of. Remember the adage, "you wouldn't 'saddle' a 'dead horse,' would you?"

"Don't saddle a dead horse". I think this means the saddle part of the clamp goes on the uncut side of the wire. -Tony, K1KP, fisher@hp-and2.an.hp.com -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towerta

There may be a real good technical/engineering/PE answer to this, but all my learning of rope handling (manila or wire) is that any deformation of the material such as knots and bends has a fairly s

The load-bearing part of the guy wire is the "live" side of the guy. The tail that's turned back is the "dead" end. The saddle goes over the live part and the U-bolt goes over the tail/dead side. The
