14、7 b8L MIL-DTL-44475A (GL) 3.3.1.1.1 Repairs of type 301 stitching. Repairs of type 301 stitching shall be as follows: a. When thread breaks or bobbin run-outs occur during the stitching, the stitching shall be repaired by restarting the stitching a minimum of 1 inch (1/2 inch for box-x and W-W stitc
15、hing) fiom the end of the stitching. L/ b. Thread breaks or two or more consecutive skipped or run-off stitches noted during inspection of the item (in-process or end item) shall be repaired by overstitching. The stitching shall start a minimum of 1 inch from the defective area, (U2 inch for box-x a
16、nd W-W stitching), continue over the defective area, and continue a minimum of 1 inch (1/2 inch for box-x and W-W stitching) beyond the defective area onto the existing stitching. Loose or excessively tight stitching shall be repaired by removing the defective stitching, without damaging the materia
17、ls, and restitching in the required manner. L/ - 1 / When making the above repairs, the ends of the stitching are not required to be backstitched. 3.3.1.1.2 Repairs of type 308 stitching.

20、d to receive the grommets shall be smaller than the outside diameter of the grommet barrel so that the barrel must be forced through the hole. The grommet shall be securely clinched without cutting the adjacent material. 3.3.4 Finishing of the iacketed wire rope ends. All *re rope ends shall be fini
21、shed by either the melt method specified in 3.3.4.1 or by the dip method specified in 3.3.4.2 such that the ends are completely enclosed with the melted coating flush with the unmelted nylon jacket. 3.3.4.1 Melt method. Heat the wire rope end nylon jacket with a suitable electrical heating element s
22、o as to melt the nylon over the end to form a smooth round surface. Remove any melted residue on the jacket surface with a fine abrasive material such that the surface is not damaged and is finished smooth. 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from I
