Element / Wire
References to the wire as a whole. I.e.: 32 loops
¾
Narrow Loop
The section of the element that is closed into the holes of the book. Faces up
when loaded properly. One loop = 1 hole.
¾
Wide Loop
The part of the element that is loaded facing in the down position.
¾
Pitch
Measured from element to element or the number of elements in an inch.
¾
Under / Over Pitch
Measured from the first loop of any given wire length to the last loop. If the
pitch is too far under, the wire will have to be stretched a slight amount over
book stop when element is loaded. Wire should be slightly under pitch. If wire
is over pitch adjust the Book Guide to center the book over the length of the
wire.
¾
Shape
The shape of any given wire should resemble two half circles. If the wire looks
like one half is smaller than the other, you may have problems closing the
wire evenly (Cross-match).
