In plan the terminal is sub-oval and has a slightly concave opening at the top. A short side-arm or bracket extends from either side of the opening. Both side-arms are D-shaped in cross-section and sub-triangular in plan. Both have a circular hole placed horizontally through the side, presumably to allow the terminal to be rivited onto something else.
