Re: How are repairs performed
Jerry,

The first photo does look to me like a grouping of the individual strands that make up the individual cable tendons. The steel in the tendons used around here are typically about ½ to 5/8 inch in diameter and are comprised of several individual strands about the thickness of a 16d nail each and all grouped together within a plastic sheathing. The sawn end of the cable looks just like that dot pattern in the first photo.

Are you seeing something different?
