Twangy pianos + stringing

OK. I snuck a peek at this list again.  I'm not referring to a mere
90=90=9D=9E=8F=8E degree twist.  (Though I personally would avoid even
that.  Old habits die hard, I guess.) In my original post, I was
thinking of a full 360 or more applied in an attempt to strengthen the
wire to minimize breakage incidents when stringing.  By any chance,
might you have experimented  with breaking tension of twisted vs.
untwisted strings.  Or, have you at least heard of twisting the string
to increase its breaking tension?   (Am I really the only one on earth
who has? Any old-timers out there? Any metals experts out there? I had
always assumed it was common knowledge in the trade. Maybe I'm just
hallucinating....)  -Joe
