* These values are nominal since the dimension is not controlled to a tolerance. The "k" dimension should
be measured when the hook is new - this becomes a reference measurement. Subsequent measurements
are compared to this reference to make determinations about hook deformation/stretch. See Section 5.7,
“Hooks - Stretch”.
