The Western Union or Lineman splice was developed during the introduction of the telegraph to mechanically and electrically terminate aerial conductors that were subject to loading stress.

Then, using needle nose pliers , twist each end at least five more turns, tightly. Cut off the ends and push them close to the center wire.
