How are ropeway ropes made endless?

This procedure is called "splicing" in technical terminology and is applied to so-called strand ropes which are used as haul ropes or ropes with a hauling or support function. During the splicing, the rope which consists of several strands (one strand consists of several individual wires) is untwisted at the ends. Then, the individual strands of the two ends are interlaced and the result is an endless rope. The connection point is called splice and can hardly be detected by a layman – if done correctly.
