the makeup and lay of the wire shall be such as to produce a conductor essentially free from a tendency to untwist or spring apart when cut.
the steel wires shall be so formed that
when the conductor is cut and the aluminum wires are stipped away from the core as required for splicing,
the steel wires can be readily regrouped and easily held in place with one hand to allow a splicing sleeve to be slipped over the steel core wires at the cut end of the conductor.
similarly, the aluminum wires shall be so formed that the aluminum wires can be readily regrouped and easily held in place with one hand to allow the splicing sleeve to be slipped over the aluminum wires at the cut end of the conductor
