We put three different swaged sleeves through the toughest torture test we could devise: a side-pull test designed to tear wire rope slings apart at the sleeves. This is what happened: In a tug of war between two 52-ton tanks, the V2" aluminum and carbon sleeves ripped apart, but the ESCO Vz " stain- less duplex sleeve wouldn't give up.

When these tests were duplicated in an independent laboratory using a certified pull test machine, the alumi- num duplex sleeve-ripped apart at 8,100 lbs.The carbon steel single sleeve ripped at 22,500 lbs. ESCO's stain- less steel duplex sleeve was still going strong when the rope broke at 30,000 lbs.* That should prove to you that ESCO's stainless steel swaged sleeve is the manager-marine department, Ex- xon Co., U.S.A., Houston, Texas;
