Thereafter, Chuck Norcutt wrote I think it's beautiful. Does anyone know why
the small wire is wrapped
the way it is?
I love to speculate. The wrapping of the small wire around the insulator is
secure. The wrapping around the cable near the insulator is loose so that the
cable can slide a little in wind or temperature changes while still being held
down by the wire. Next the helix of wire around the cable allows for this
movement because the far ends of the wire are securely wrapped on the cable and
the cable cannot slip between them.
