This is what the end of a short 6" Univac leader looks like: https://i.imgur.com/wPH93Cz.jpg Apologies for the poor quality, but even with the naked eye, it's hard to see that the leader end is "looped" I might be able to enhance this a bit with some image finagling, if anyone's interested. The other end is cut in 45 degree traditional splice. --Chuck
