Narrative:
On nov/wed/01 at about XA30, was advised that it is possible that I could have manufactured 1/4 inch cables using the wrong number of strands. We used 7 X 19 -- should have used 6 X 31. Both have the same breaking strength. I was off wack on nov/thu/01. That is why I am reporting this on nov/fri/01.
