<DIV> I think it has to do with the string tension causing the

observation and well worth researching among string makers, i.e. how much
twist of the wire gets ahead of the wrap during the high-speed wrapping
process, then how much slackens out of the wire after the spinning stops.
Also, how much twist (or torsional force) remains in the core held by the =
wrap
itself (or in mis-making of the string, is the torsional force over-applie=
d
leaving the core wire close to an elastic limit).<BR><BR>PR-J</FONT>
