The YARD
BANDS carried eyes to which rigging lines were attached. They can be
made from shim brass or copper about .010" thick (No. 30 gauge). This
thickness can easily be worked with small tinsnips and round nose
pliers. Eyes are produced by pinching the strip at necessary points
using flat nose pliers, then soldering. Drill the hole in each tab and
round with a file to form the eye. Fig. 60A.
