Western Union splice

A Western Union splice is a method of joining two pieces of wire or rope together. This splice is particularly useful when connecting wires in a way that maintains electrical continuity and provides a strong mechanical connection. The basic process for a Western Union splice involves stripping the insulation off the ends of two wires and then twisting them together. Specifically, one wire is placed on top of the other, and the exposed ends are twisted around each other in a manner that creates a secure connection.
