D/d Ratio | Thursday
The use of multi-part braided slings appears to be returning to the marketplace. In the fabrication of these slings, generally a single wire rope is braided or helically laid back against its own body to form an eye and eye sling.

The number of component wire ropes in a multi-part sling could be as many as nine or as few as three.
