Wire lay

[davidsamuelson]

Hi,
The majority of the rigging wire I see is right hand lay; but there is some left hand out there too.
What is/are the reasons for laying it one way or the other? .
Please, someone satisfy my curiosity. Thanks, David

Hello,
This is amazing; I just finished writing the new Puzzler, and it essentially asks the same question. Since I'd like to be spared the effort of coming up with a new Puzzler, PLEASE, everybody, don't respond here. I hope you'll be able to send your answers in by Monday.
Fair leads,
