checkedforproperconfiguration.ThesideviewaboveshowsacorrectlybuiltBooth3‐Ringriserattachedtothe

 Theringsoverlapeachotherandmaintainmetal‐to‐metalcontact.
 Theringsarealignedinparallelplanes.
 Thesmallestringisnotpulledsnugagainstthegrommet;thewhiteloopislongenoughtogiveitsomeplay.
 Thewhitelockingloopgoesstraightdown
throughthecenteroftherisergrommetonitswaytothecable
housingendfitting;itdoesnotextendpasttheedgeofthegrommetholeandthenturnbackupwards
