6-5.
Harness Lacing.
a.
Starting Stitch (fig. 6-3). Continuous lacing of a cable harness shall begin with a starting stitch. Determine
the approximate diameter of the cable harness being laced. Spacing between the lacing stitches, in a continuous lace,
should be between one and two times the diameter of the cable harness. In no case should the distance between the
lacing stitches exceed 1 inch.
Figure 6-3. Lacing Starting Stitch
b.
Running Lock Stitch (fig. 6-4). After beginning with a starting stitch, form a series of running lock stitches
along the length of the cable harness. Always keep the lacing stitches on the same side of the cable harness when
forming the lacing run. Wherever a breakout occurs, make a running lock stitch at a point prior to the wire leaving the
harness.
