Frank, I know there is a spec for 6 x diameter for spacing between
Crosby clips; can't remember anything in that area about the first
space. I always assumed that the first clip needed to be close enough 
to the thimble to prevent the wire riding out of it with lateral 
force applied. Sounds like that's what happened with yours.

Thanks for sharing your plight of having ALL of those towers to 
check!
