disagree  Tony M: Surely that suggests some kind of mechanical 'clamp', rather than a simple earthing wire?

neutral  Tony M: Caution! 'tresse' = 'braid', which is only one form that the earth strap may take; here, it sounds as if it is more some kind of simple wire. / Some may do, but it's not a given, and possibly unlikely in this particular context.

  ->  pictures of ground straps look very much like braids to me; they certainly don't look like mere cables, but like "straps", i.e flat things
