Were wires joined with twist-on connectors abraded and pre-twisted?

The integrity of a connection made with twist-on connectors is increased if the wires are first properly abraded to break up the oxide layer and coated with an oxide inhibitor. Unfortunately most twist-on connectors do not specify this as a requirement. The connection is also better if the wires were pre-twisted together with pliers before the twist-on connector was installed.

One wiring practice is to push separate straight wires into a twist-on connector using the twisting action of the connector as the only means to join the two wires. This method is often used as it saves electricians a lot of time during the installation Most twist-on connectors specify that no pre-twisting is required, however, pre-twisting has proven to increase the integrity of the connection. Without pre-twisting, the effective wire-to-wire contact may be only a fraction of the wire-to-wire contact between pre-twisted wires.

The relative motion between the two conductors is also decreased with pre-twisting, ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
