Hi allVisit with the folks at World War 1 Aeroplanes, Inc. if you want more infoon wire ferrules, hard wire & even wire splicing -- these (defintely hardcore!)guys deal regularly with technology 20 years older than the Piet --the editor built a full size replica of a 1914 Bristol Scout with LeRhonerotory engine!.I have a copy of thier journal "WW1 Aero" (#110) with info from a 1918Aircraft Mechanics Handbook on specs for ferrules & how to form the loopOn this matter of dealing with 1 x19 cable, wasn't there a picture of a "C"clamp affair (for forming cable around the thimble) in the Experimenter"article about cable this last year -- looked like a useful item!For what it's worth, the Fly Baby uses 1 x19 Stainless cable for both thedrag wires & wing bracing.Mike----- Original Message -----
