A grip for holding the end of a cable, when the cable is to be drawn
into a conduit in a subway. It is an attachment to provide the cable
with an eye or loop. Its end is a split socket and embraces the end of

In drawing a cable into a conduit a capstan and rope are often used, and
the rope is secured to the cable end by the grip.
