TO OUR CUSTOMERS i^hj 
 PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE 
 
 IN compiling this general catalogue we 
 have endeavored to incorporate in it all 
 
 information about wire rope and cordage 
 that the average rope user requires, and to 
 make it a useful Hand Book for rope buyers . 
 
 We have made no effort to increase its size 
 by including statistics and other informa- 
 tion rarely used and of questionable value. 
 It is merely a comprehensive wire rope and 
 cordage catalogue, of handy size, arranged 
 to quickly give the user list prices and other 
 essential data in connection with Wire Rope 
 and Fittings, Armored Wire Rope, Fibre- 
 clad Wire Rope and Cordage. We have 
 also included in its pages reliable informa- 
 tion about Music Wire. 
 
 With regard to quality we do not believe 
 it is possible, in the present state of the art, 
 to manufacture better rope than is cata- 
 logued herein. Next to actual experience 
 with it in service the best evidence of its 
 superiority is the constantly increasing de- 
 mand for our product. 
 
 In buying Waterbury Products you are 
 assured of as high a quality as it is possible to 
 make, also prompt and courteous attention.

 4 ! HOW TO* ORDER WIRE ROPE 
 
 OWING to the variety of sizes and 
 types of wire ropes, as well as the 
 different materials from which they 
 are made, ropes suited to one purpose are 
 frequently useless for another. Buyers 
 should incorporate full details on all orders. 
 Unless we know exactly what is wanted we 
 must delay shipment while writing for 
 further information.

 MEASURING WIRE ROPE 
 
 The right and wrong ways to measure 
 wire rope: The diameter of a wire rope is 
 that of a true circle. 
 
 Right way to measure (A true circle) 
 
 Wrong way to measure (Not a true circle) 
 
 The diameter of a wire rope is that of a 
 circle enclosing the rope. Care should be 
 taken in measuring to obtain this diameter. 
 If a rope is measured the wrong way (see 
 diagrams above), and a wheel is ordered 
 grooved to take the rope, the groove would 
 be too small.

 CORRECT PRACTICE 
 IN THE USE OF WIRE ROPE 
 
 nnHERE are various kinds of Wire Rope 
 JL manufactured, one of the most pliable 
 containing 19 wires to the strand, and is 
 generally used for hoisting and running 
 purposes. The ropes with 12 wires and 7 
 wires in the strand are better adapted for 
 standing rope, guys and rigging. Orders 
 should state the use of the rope, and advice 
 will be given. 
 
 For safe working load, allow one-fifth to 
 one-seventh of the ultimate strength, ac- 
 cording to speed, so as to get good wear 
 from the rope. When substituting wire rope 
 for hemp rope it is good economy to allow 
 for the former the same weight per foot 
 which experience has approved for the latter . 
 
 Wire rope is as pliable as new hemp rope 
 of the same strength; the former will there- 
 fore run over the same size sheaves and pul- 
 leys as the latter, but the greater the diam- 
 eter of the sheaves, pulleys or drums, the 
 longer wire rope will last. Sheaves should 
 be scored to diameter of rope. In the con- 
 struction of machinery for wire rope, it will 
 be found good economy to make the drums 
 and sheaves as large as possible. 
 
 Experience has demonstrated that the 
 wear increases with the speed. It is there- 
 fore better to increase the load than the 
 speed. 
 
 Wire rope is manufactured either with a 
 wire or a hemp center. The latter is more 
 
 PAGE 6 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 pliable than the former and will wear better 
 where there is short bending. Orders should 
 specify what kind of center is wanted. 
 
 In no case should galvanized rope be used 
 for running rope. One day's use scrapes off 
 the coating of zinc and rusting proceeds 
 with twice the rapidity. 
 
 The grooves of cast iron pulleys and 
 sheaves should be filled with well-seasoned 
 blocks of hard wood, set on end, to be re- 
 newed when worn out. This end- wood will 
 save wear and increase adhesion. The 
 smaller pulleys or rollers which support the 
 ropes on inclined planes should be con- 
 structed on the same plan. When large 
 sheaves run with very great velocity, the 
 grooves should be lined with leather set on 
 end, or with India rubber. This is done in 
 the case of all sheaves used in the transmis- 
 sion of power between distant points by 
 means of rope, which frequently run at the 
 rate of 4,000 feet per minute. Full informa- 
 tion will be given on the size of rope and 
 the size and speed of sheaves to be used for 
 transmitting power. 
 
 Steel ropes are taking the place of iron 
 ropes where it is a special object to combine 
 lightness with strength. 
 
 But in substituting a steel rope for an 
 iron running rope the object in view should 
 be to gain an increased wear from the rope, 
 rather than to reduce the size. 
 
 Avoid, if possible, overlapping of wire 
 rope on drums. 
 
 For shafts and elevators, the load lifted 
 
 PAGE 7 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 should not be more than one-tenth of the 
 strength of the rope . 
 
 Do not subject wire rope to sudden strain. 
 
 For wire rope to be exposed to intense 
 heat, a wire core may be substituted for 
 the ordinary hemp center. 
 
 The grooves on drums and sheaves should 
 be a trifle larger than the rope, perfectly 
 smooth and uniform to the surface of the 
 rope. 
 
 Wire ropes should run around all sheaves 
 without chafing the sides of the grooves. 
 
 WAYS OF UNCOILING A WIRE ROPE 
 
 WIRE rope is shipped in coils or on reels 
 and should always be unwound by re- 
 volving the coil or reel axially either on a 
 horizontal shaft mounted on bearings, as 
 shown in Fig. 1, or on a turntable or swift, 
 as shown in Fig. 2, or by rolling on the 
 ground , as in Fig . 3 . 
 Wire rope should 
 never be pulled out 
 from a stationary 
 coil in the manner 
 illustrated in Fig. 
 4, as this is sure 
 to result in kinks 
 which injure the 
 rope and are al- 
 most impossible to 
 straighten out. Fig. 1. Right way

 WIRE ROPE PRESERVATIVES 
 Lubrication Adds Life 
 
 WIRE Ropes should be coated occasion- 
 ally with some suitable material to 
 preserve them from rust and corrosion. A 
 good coat of boiled linseed oil will answer 
 the purpose for ropes subjected only to at- 
 mospheric conditions. For haulage ropes, 
 and especially such as have to run in wet 
 places, we recommend some standard prep- 
 aration of crude petroleum, or a mixture of 
 this with graphite. The latter is specially 
 applicable to shaft ropes, as it fills the in- 
 terstices well and is not readily washed 
 off. Materials containing acids should be 
 avoided. 
 
 Compounds expressly prepared for coat- 
 ing wire ropes are offered by parties making 
 a specialty of such materials. 
 
 Wire Ropes should be examined frequently 
 and a new one ordered before the old one 
 is worn out. Attention to this will insure 
 safety and prevent accidents. 
 
 Wire Ropes can be manufactured to any 
 size or strength, and we will cheerfully give 
 estimates on any ropes not listed in this 
 catalogue. 
 
 When Wire Rope is cut, a binder should 
 be wrapped on each side of the place where 
 the division is to be made, to prevent the 
 rope from untwisting.

 CONSTRUCTION OF WIRE ROPE 
 
 WIRE Rope is referred to as rope of so 
 many strands of so many wires. Ordi- 
 narily, 6 strands with 7 or 19 wires to the 
 strand. In case of 7 wires to the strand, 
 rope would be made up of 42 wires over a 
 hemp core. If made 19 wires to the strand, 
 it would be made up of 114 wires over a 
 hemp core. 
 
 Rope is generally made with a hemp cen- 
 ter unless called for with a wire core. Some 
 term it 6 strand rope with wire core, while 
 others call it 7 strand rope of so many wires 
 per strand. 
 
 When made 6 strands of 7 wires each, it is known 
 as HAULAGE, TRANSMISSION or STANDING 
 ROPE. 
 
 When made 6 strands of 19 wires each, it is known 
 as HOISTING ROPE. 
 
 When made 6 strands of 37 wires each, it is known 
 as SPECIAL FLEXIBLE ROPE. 
 
 When made 8 strands of 19 wires each, it is known 
 as EXTRA FLEXIBLE ROPE. 
 
 When made 6 strands of 12 wires each, it is gen- 
 erally termed RUNNING ROPE. 
 
 When made of 6 ropes of 6 strands, each strand 
 containing 7 wires to the strand, it is known as TILLER 
 or HAND ROPE. 
 
 Wire Rope cores may be of 7 wires, of 19 
 wires, or of rope made 6 strands of 7 wires, 
 6 strands of 19 wires, or 6 strands of 37 
 
 PAGE 13 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 wires, depending on the construction and 
 size of rope. 
 
 It is most common to furnish rope of one 
 size wire construction, such as 6 strands of 
 19 wires, all of one size wire in the strand. 
 
 Three-size wire construction, termed 
 "Warrington" lay, is of 7 inside wires of 
 uniform diameter surrounded by 12 wires 
 which are alternately large and small. 
 This combination increases the metallic 
 area and strength by approximately 10%. 
 "Warrington" lay is generally made 6 
 strands of 19 wires to the strand, with the 
 three-size wire construction, as above 
 stated. 
 
 "Seale" lay is generally made 6 strands of 
 19 wires to the strand, construction being 
 the center wire large, the next layer of 9 
 wires small, and the outer layer of 9 wires 
 large. These strands produce a rope some- 
 what stiff er than the first two mentioned. 
 
 This type of rope will withstand abrasion . 
 Is used on slopes, planes, cable roads, 
 where no sharp angle bends are encountered 
 to stress the outside wires. The use of this 
 rope is largely governed by conditions. 
 Obtain our advice when contemplating use 
 as against Standard Construction. In this 
 type of rope there is proportionately less 
 metal in the center wires, although the out- 
 side wires contain more metal than in Stand- 
 ard Hoisting Rope. 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 HAULAGE, TRANSMISSION AND 
 STANDING ROPE 
 
 In HAULAGE, TRANSMISSION and 
 STANDING ROPE CONSTRUCTION, 
 
 the 6x7 construction makes a relatively 
 stiff rope capable of resisting external wear 
 or abrasion. Large sheaves are necessary. 
 
 SEALE CONSTRUCTION 
 
 The next class of rope, 6 x 12 construc- 
 tion, is somewhat more flexible, but not so 
 flexible as 6 x 19. When made "Seale" 
 construction, it is suited to but a limited 
 number of uses. If made 6 x 12 or 6 x 19- 
 the list is the same as 6 x 19 regular rope, 
 based on the grade of stock furnished. 
 
 PAGE 15 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 HOISTING ROPE 
 
 In the 6 x 19 construction, universally 
 known as HOISTING ROPE, the wires are 
 smaller than 6x7 and 6 x 12. This rope is 
 less able to resist abrasion, but can be more 
 readily bent around sheaves and drums. 
 
 SPECIAL FLEXIBLE HOISTING ROPE 
 
 In the SPECIAL FLEXIBLE HOIST- 
 ING ROPE, 6 x 37, the wires are still 
 smaller than in 6 x 19, and the rope may be 
 used over fairly small sheaves. This class 
 of rope is not to be subjected to much ex- 
 ternal wear, particularly in the smaller 
 sizes, as the wires will wear too quickly. 
 
 PAGE 1 6 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 EXTRA FLEXIBLE HOISTING ROPE 
 
 In the EXTRA FLEXIBLE HOISTING 
 ROPE, known as 8 x 19, it is more flexible 
 than the 6 x 19, being composed of two addi- 
 tional strands, and can be used over smaller 
 sheaves than 6 x 19. In flexibility, it is 
 about the same as 6 x 37, but not so strong 
 owing to its larger hemp center. 
 
 RUNNING ROPES 
 MOORING LINES 
 
 In 6 x 12 Rope, known as RUNNING 
 RIGGING CONSTRUCTION and MOOR- 
 ING LINES, this is generally made gal- 
 vanized. It has a hemp core in each strand 
 or seven hemp cores in the rope . This con- 
 struction is more flexible than 6 x 19 but 
 only about two-thirds as strong. 
 
 PAGE 17 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 TILLER ROPE 
 
 TILLER ROPE CONSTRUCTION is 6 
 ropes of 6 strands of 7 wires each. It is the 
 most flexible rope made and can be bent 
 around very small sheaves. Its construc- 
 tion is of very fine wires, hence will stand 
 less surface wear than other types of ropes. 
 The load should be light.

 WIRE ROPE LAYS 
 
 rTIHE lays of Wire Rope are known as 
 J_ Regular and Lang lay. 
 
 In the Regular lay of rope, the strands 
 are twisted in one direction and the strands 
 laid into rope in the opposite direction. 
 
 Regular lay rop< 
 
 Lang lay rope 
 
 In Lang lay rope, for which no additional 
 charge is made, the strands of the rope are 
 twisted in the same direction . 
 
 Lang lay rope is more readily untwisted 
 than Regular lay rope. It is more difficult 
 to tuck the strands securely in the splice, 
 but is especially adapted to resisting ex- 
 ternal wear and grit action. The use of 
 
 PAGE 24 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 Lang lay rope is generally confined to min- 
 ing operations. Inquiries for Lang lay rope 
 had best be submitted to this office for 
 necessary attention. 
 
 Right lay rope 
 
 Left lay rope 
 
 Ropes are made right hand lay, also left 
 hand lay. Right hand lay rope corresponds 
 to a right hand threaded screw of long pitch, 
 and left hand lay to a left hand screw of 
 long pitch . The use of left hand lay rope is 
 limited principally to elevators and places 
 where the tendency of left hand lay rope to 
 untwist in one direction is offset by the 
 
 PAGE 25 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 tendency of the right hand lay rope to un- 
 twist in the opposite direction. In drilling 
 cable operations the majority of oil well 
 drilling ropes are made left hand lay. 
 
 There is also what is known as Right and 
 Left lay rope, generally made of 6 strands 
 of 19 wires to the strand, 3 strands being 
 made Regular lay and 3 strands Lang lay. 
 This rope is seldom called for and we do not 
 recommend it for ordinary service. 
 
 The range of application is broad. A few 
 of the uses, however, may be found noted 
 below. 
 
 HAULAGE ROPE for mines and docks. 
 
 HOISTING ROPE for elevators, coal hoists, ore 
 hoists, conveyors, derricks, stump pullers, steam 
 shovels, dredges, logging, ballast and unloaders. 
 
 SPECIAL FLEXIBLE 6 x 37 and EXTRA FLEX- 
 IBLE 8 x 19 used for cranes, counterweights, ammuni- 
 tion hoists and dredging operations in some instances. 
 
 Standard ropes are used for derricks, ship's rigging, 
 etc., when made GALVANIZED. When made 
 EXTRA GALVANIZED in HOISTING and RUN- 
 NING ROPE CONSTRUCTION, they are used for 
 mooring and messenger lines, cargo hoists, ship's 
 rigging, etc. 
 
 GALVANIZED HAWSERS, made 6 x 12, 6 x 24 or 
 6 x 37 for mooring and towing.

 FACTORS OF SAFETY 
 
 r |lHE tables, per catalogue, generally fig- 
 _L ure a factor of safety 5 to 1 , but where 
 the conditions are hoisting, they are in- 
 creased from 7 to 10. 
 
 Great care should be exercised as regards 
 size and quality of rope to meet stresses. 
 
 It rrfight be noted that in a rope of given 
 strength, one could use on hoisting rope, 
 say, 1" Crucible Steel or a %" Plow Steel 
 and get almost the same factor of safety. 
 In a case where the sheaves must of neces- 
 sity be small, y s " Plow Steel 6 x 19 would 
 probably be preferable to the 1" Crucible 
 Steel 6 x 19. A safe rule to follow is to 
 have the sheave diameter at least thirty 
 times the diameter of the rope. 
 
 Iron, which enters into the making of 
 Wire Rope, has a breaking strain of approx- 
 imately 85,000 pounds per square inch, al- 
 though the range is from 75,000 to 100,000 
 pounds per square inch. 
 
 In Crucible Cast Steel , the tensile strength 
 will run about 150,000 to 200,000 pounds 
 per square inch of sectional area, depending 
 upon the size of the finished wire. 
 
 Extra Crucible Cast Steel is a stronger 
 grade of crucible open hearth steel, and will 
 run from 180,000 to 220,000 pounds per 
 square inch of sectional area. 
 
 PAGE 27 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 Plow Steel is a higher grade of open 
 hearth steel of a tensile strength running 
 from 200,000 to 250,000 pounds per square 
 inch of sectional area. 
 
 Improved Plow Steel, our GREEN 
 STRAND GIANT stock, will run from 
 220,000 to 280,000 pounds per square inch 
 of sectional area. This is the toughest 
 grade of material of high strength that has 
 been produced and will be found most satis- 
 factory for hazardous operations. It must 
 be borne in mind, however, that owing to 
 the high tensile strength something is sac- 
 rificed for flexibility larger sheaves are 
 required than following the use of the softer 
 grades of stock.

 All ropes not herein listed and composed of more 
 than 7 and less than 19 wires to the strand, with the 
 exception of 6 x 8, take 19-wire list. Siemens-Martin 
 steel rope, having 25 per cent greater strength than 
 iron rope, at same prices as iron rope. Add 10 per cent 
 to prices for wire center or galvanized rope. 
 
 Iron haulage rope is not extensively used at present, 
 except in some of the smaller sizes. It is composed of 
 soft wires, which do not possess high tensile strength. 
 Some of the sizes given above are never used, but figures 
 are given for comparison with' the stronger grades.

 All ropes not listed herein and composed of more

 to list prices for wire center or galvanized rope. 
 
 This is a very strong rope, and its wires are harder 
 and capable of withstanding more external wear than 
 the softer crucible steel. Its general scope of applica- 
 tion is for mine haulage, including endless, tail rope 
 systems and gravity hoists, as well as ore and coal 
 dock haulage, roads operating small grip cars. Where 
 it is necessary to secure increased strength and the phys- 
 ical requirements render it impossible to alter the work- 
 ing conditions, a plow steel rope may be used to dis- 
 tinct advantage without increasing the diameter of 
 the rope. 
 
 When galvanized, is adapted to use for standing 
 rigging on yachts and affords greatest strength for 
 the weight.

WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 Oil Well Drilling. The principal ropes are Drilling 
 Cables and Sand Lines. Drilling Cables are generally 
 made left lay, running from Y%" to 1" diameter, 6 x 19, 
 6 x 8 or 6 x 7 construction. The largest call is in Cruc- 
 ible Cast Steel stock. In some instances Extra Strong 
 is called for, and in a few instances Plow Steel stock is 
 called for. The list for 6 x 8 Drilling Cable is inter- 
 mediate between list for 6x7 and 6 x 19. Other ropes 
 known in drilling operations are tubing, casing and 
 sucker rod lines, which are made 6 strands, 19 wires to 
 the strand with a hemp center. Pumping lines are 
 made 6x7, cleaning out cables are made 6 x 19 and 
 6 x 8 or 6 x 7, and steel wire dead lines are generally 
 made endless of 6 x 19 Crucible Cast Steel stock.

 This quality and construction of cable is recom- 
 mended for deep drilling where the weight of the rope 
 becomes a considerable part of the load. 
 
 As this quality of drilling cable is stronger than 
 that shown in the preceding list, the drums and sheaves 
 should hi every case be ample in size.

 All ropes not listed herein and composed of strands 
 made up of more than 19 and less than 37 wires, take 
 37-wire list. Siemens-Martin Steel Rope, having 25 
 per cent greater strength than iron rope, at same price 
 as iron rope. Add 10 per cent to list for wire center or 
 galvanized rope. 
 
 The wires in our iron rope are of the best quality 
 iron, soft, tough and pliable. Iron Hoisting Rope is 
 generally used for elevator hoisting where the strength 
 is sufficient. It is employed for counterweight ropes, 
 except on traction elevators. For traction elevators we 
 recommend the Mild Steel Hoisting Rope, see next page. 
 
 Iron hoisting rope is sometimes used for power 
 transmission where the pulleys are comparatively small.

 Made for traction elevators in tall buildings where, 
 on account of usual quick starting and stopping, a 
 stronger and lighter rope is required than the iron 
 quality. This Mild Steel Elevator Hoisting Rope is 
 not recommended for all styles of elevators. For 
 elevators employing separate counterweight ropes, the 
 Iron Hoisting Rope is recommended.

 All ropes not listed herein and composed of strands 
 made up of more than 19 and less than 37 wires, take 
 37-wire list. Add 10 per cent to list prices for wire 
 center or galvanized rope. 
 
 This rope is made from selected steel wires of higher 
 tensile strength than the crucible cast steel, and pos- 
 sessing greater strength, rope from this list may be 
 used with somewhat heavier loads than crucible steel. 
 It has been found particularly useful for oil well drilling 
 and tubing lines. Its other general uses are similar to 
 those of the crucible cast steel, except that it may be 
 used where loads are somewhat heavier.

 All ropes not listed herein and composed of strands 
 made up of more than 19 and less than 37 wires, take 
 37-wire list. Add 10 per cent to list prices for wire 
 center or galvanized rope. This is a very strong type 
 of hoisting rope, largely used for heavy mine hoisting, 
 derricks, inclined planes, dredges, cableways for heavy 
 logging, scraper lines, wrecking lines, ballast unloader 
 ropes, heavy cranes, and similar uses. In deep mine 
 shafts and long inclines it is especially efficient, because 
 it possesses great strength for its weight. It, is the 
 most economical rope to use where the weight of the 
 rope has to be considered, or where the capacity of the 
 machinery is to be increased without a corresponding 
 increase in sheaves and drums.

 Add 10 per cent to list prices for wire center or gal- 
 vanized rope. 
 
 This grade of hoisting rope is unequaled for strength. 
 It is particularly useful on derricks, skidders, dredges 
 and stump pullers. Being very strong, a smaller rope 
 may be used than any other grade of this construction. 
 It is stiff er in the same diameter than the plow and cruc- 
 ible steel grades, but strength for strength, it is equally 
 flexible. Sheaves should be somewhat larger for this 
 quality of rope, to obtain the very best results.

 Extra Flexible (8 x 19) rope is sometimes preferred 
 to (6 x 19) for operating the safety governors on passen- 
 ger and freight elevators where sheaves are small and 
 the velocity is high. 
 
 REGULAR LAY. The Regular Lay is used for 
 rapid operation and light loads on coal hoists, derricks, 
 cargo falls and other types of hoists where pulleys, 
 sheaves and drums are small and great flexibility is 
 essential. 
 
 Having eight strands in place of six, the hemp 
 center is larger and the rope more flexible. Care 
 should be taken in substituting this rope on account 
 of its large hemp center and correspondingly lower 
 breaking strength. 
 
 SEALE LAY. A very successful rope where large 
 sheaves and heavy abrasion are encountered, and 
 while this type of 8 x 19 is less flexible than the regular 
 construction as above, the larger outside wires better 
 withstand severe conditions when used over a larger 
 number of pulleys or over rocks and exposed places.

 Add 10 per cent to list prices for galvanized rope. 
 
 This rope is particularly adaptable for use over 
 fairly small size sheaves on derricks, steam dredges, 
 coal and ore handling machinery, pile drivers, and 
 also for logging purposes, as well as tubing lines for oil 
 wells. It is not quite as strong in the same diameter as 
 the regular hoisting rope, 6 x 19, due to its larger hemp 
 center, but it is more flexible. This rope, when 
 galvanized, is known as galvanized extra flexible 
 crucible cast steel hoisting rope and is much used by 
 yachtsmen.

 Add 10 per cent to list prices for galvanized rope. 
 
 This rope is made from selected cast steel wires of 
 higher tensile strength than the crucible steel, and 
 possessing greater strength, ropes from this list may 
 be used for somewhat heavier loads than crucible 
 steel. Its general uses are similar to those of the 
 crucible steel described on the preceding page.

 Add 10 per cent to list prices for galvanized rope. 
 
 This is a strong and flexible rope, principally used 
 on derricks, dredges, coal and ore handling machin- 
 ery, pile drivers and logging, where small sheaves 
 necessitate a flexible rope and where greater strength 
 than shown for preceding grades is required. This 
 rope is also made galvanized, and is then known as 
 galvanized extra flexible plow steel hoisting rope, largely 
 used on ships and yachts.

 Add 10 per cent to list prices for galvanized rope. 
 
 Very efficient for strength where loads are heavy, 
 it being the strongest rope that can be made in this type 
 of construction. It is preferable to employ sheaves 
 somewhat larger with this quality so as to insure greater 
 durability.

 Ropes composed of strands made up of more than 
 37 wires, add 10 per cent to list price of 6 x 37. Add 
 10 per cent for wire center. 
 
 Ropes of this construction may be used for general 
 hoisting work where loads are moderate and where 
 sheaves are small. It is stronger construction than the 
 extra flexible, but somewhat more expensive, and its 
 wires will not stand as much abrasion as the 6 x 19 
 construction.

 Ropes composed of strands made up of more than 37 
 wires, add 10 per cent to list price of 6 x 37. Add 
 10 per cent for wire center. 
 
 This is the next stronger grade of this construction 
 and can be used for heavier loads than the crucible 
 steel, being considerably stronger in the same diam- 
 eter. Its general uses are similar to the crucible steel.

 Used on electric traveling cranes, dredges and simi- 
 lar machinery, where loads are heavy and sheaves are 
 of necessity small. These ropes are very efficient and 
 give excellent service where conditions favor their 
 use.

 Ropes composed of strands made up of more than 
 37 wires, add 10 per cent to list price of 6 x 37. Add 
 10 per cent for wire center. 
 
 This is the strongest rope of the 6 x 37 construction 
 made and suitable where conditions are unusually 
 severe. It is largely used on dredges both for main 
 hoist and spud ropes. We recommend its use where 
 loads have to be increased without corresponding in- 
 crease in diameter of rope.

 The wires in this rope are very .fine, and should 
 not be subjected to much abrasive wear. 
 
 It is used to a limited extent for steering lines on 
 yachts and motor boats. Galvanized Crucible Cast 
 Steel Yacht Rope, G strands, 19 wires to the strand, 1 
 hemp core, is preferred by many for motor boats. 
 
 Three-eighths and one-half-inch diameter iron Tiller 
 or Hand Rope is used for starting and stopping eleva- 
 tors. This rope is also called Elevator Shipper Rope. 
 
 Tiller Rope of tinned or galvanized iron or steel is 
 furnished if required. For this rope add 10 per cent 
 to the foregoing list prices .

 The above charges are for labor in making splices 
 at our works, and do not include the additional 20 to 
 30 feet of rope used in making the splice. A special 
 charge will be made for splicing done elsewhere, such 
 charge depending on the circumstances of each indi- 
 vidual case. 
 
 Exact lengths of endless transmission ropes should be 
 specified, or else the exact distance from center to center 
 of sheaves, together with circumference of sheaves.

WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 NON-SPINNING HOISTING ROPE 
 
 CONSTRUCTION: 18 strands, 7 wires to 
 V^ the strand with hemp center. Used 
 principally as a hoisting rope. Is non-ro- 
 tating, i. e. 9 non-spinning, and made to 
 overcome the spinning of loading buckets, 
 beams or whatever may be hoisted . 
 
 It is also used for bridge construction work 
 or where single-line derricks are in use, also 
 for crane elevator work, mine hoisting, etc. 
 
 Quarry men and others, when hoisting by 
 a single line, require two or more men with 
 guide ropes to prevent blocks from revolv- 
 ing in their ascent. Our rope overcomes 
 this difficulty. 
 
 The principle of Non-Rotating Rope is 
 quite fully explained below. Improvement 
 in this rope, i. e. 9 Non-Spinning Wire Rope, 
 according to invention, has for its object 
 the production of a wire rope which is non- 
 rotating, of greater flexibility and wearing 
 surface, and with more sectional area to 
 stand a larger amount of wear and tear 
 than wire rope of 6 strands, 19 wires. 
 
 PAGE 55 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 The object is accomplished by forming a 
 wire rope of the inner rope, the outer cas- 
 ing constructed, arranged and twisted with 
 the inner rope, to wit: the outer casing 
 consists of a maximum number of strands, 
 each having a stated number of wires of a 
 stated area. The inner rope is composed of 
 a stated number of strands, each having a 
 stated number of wires. The interstices of 
 inner rope are wormed with lubricated 
 hemp fibre, giving cushion effect to the 
 outer strands,thus enabling same to better 
 withstand abrasion. The outer strands and 
 the inner rope strands respectively are by 
 preference twisted in opposite directions, 
 thus counter-balancing the outer strand 
 wires. The rope is constructed of round 
 wires which are not subject to as much 
 internal friction as flat or irregular shaped 
 core wires. 
 
 We are prepared to furnish the rope in 
 all classes of wire, i. e., Iron, Crucible Cast 
 Steel, Extra Strong Crucible Cast Steel and 
 Plow Steel. List on succeeding page.

 This rope is extra galvanized. Used where exposure to weather 
 is constant or to periodical moisture. 
 
 6 x 19 construction is used largely for Backstays, Outhauls, Top- 
 ping Lifts, or wherever strong, pliable mooring or messenger lines 
 are used. 
 
 6x7 construction is used for standing rigging on ships and yachts. 
 
 If greater strength than listed is required we are prepared to 
 furnish galvanized plow steel wire. Prices on application

 Where great strength and pliability are essential, 
 this type of hawser, by reason of construction, is 
 superior to all other forms. More than 50 per cent 
 of the wires in the strands are on the inside, so that 
 the outside layer of wires may be considerably worn 
 before the strength of the inside wires becomes im- 
 paired .

 We do not build or erect suspension bridges, but 
 are prepared to supply cables. 
 
 Further particulars and prices furnished upon appli- 
 cation. 
 
 Suspension Bridge cables are generally made 6 
 strands, 7 wires to the strand, with a wire strand in 
 center, or commonly known as 7 x 7. In some cases 
 they are made 6 strands, 19 wires to the strand and a 
 hemp center, or 6 strands, 12 wires to the strand and 
 one hemp center.

 When either intermediate sizes and strengths are called for, if they 
 are exactly midway between two sizes provided for, the average 
 price of the two sizes shall apply; otherwise the price of the 
 nearest size and strength shall apply. 
 
 This class of strand costs more than ordinary strand of equivalent 
 diameter. The higher strength admits of the use o smaller sizes. 
 Lasts longer and is more economical in use.

 This strand is designed to give as much flexibility 
 as possible as well as a fairly smooth surface for trav- 
 eler wheels to run upon. The plow steel quality 
 affords the greatest strength with the least weight 
 a very important advantage, especially in long spans.

 Sister hooks are frequently employed where a rope 
 has to be quickly attached and detached from a load 
 and at the same time to hold the load locked in position 
 so long as the rope is under strain. Illustration shows 
 the two parts of the hook apart ready to attach load. 
 Such devices are frequently used for logging and draw- 
 ing-in cables.

WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 TABLE FOR INCLINED PLANES 
 
 Use of wire rope on slopes, inclined planes, etc,, 
 by which the strain produced by any load can easily 
 be calculated. 
 
 The table gives the strain on a rope due to a load 
 of one ton of 2,000 pounds, allowing for rolling fric- 
 tion. An additional allowance for the weight of the 
 rope will have to be made. 
 
 Example: For an inclination of twenty-five feet in 100 feet, cor- 
 responding to an angle of fourteen degrees and two minutes, a load 
 of 2000 pounds will produce a strain on the rope of 534 pounds, and 
 for a load of 8000 pounds the strain on the rope will be 
 
 534 x 8000 
 2000 
 
 = 2136 pounds.

 In selecting a rope, a factor of safety from six to eight should be 
 taken; that is, the working load on the rope should only be one-fifth 
 to one-seventh of its breaking strength. As a rule, ropes for shafts 
 should have a factor of safety of six, and for inclined planes, where 
 the wear is much greater, the factor of safety should be seven. 
 
 Further information and advice as to the best rope to use in par- 
 ticular cases will be supplied on application.

WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 DIRECTIONS FOR SPLICING WIRE 
 ROPE 
 
 r |THE tools required will be a small mar- 
 _L linespike, nipping cutters, and either 
 clamps or a small hemp rope sling with 
 which to wrap around and untwist the rope. 
 If a bench vise is accessible, it will be found 
 very convenient for holding the rope. 
 
 
 In splicing rope, a certain length is used 
 up in making the splice. An allowance of 
 not less than 16 feet for ^-inch rope, and 
 
 PAGE 88 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 proportionately longer for larger sizes, must 
 be added to the length of your endless rope 
 in ordering. 
 
 Having measured carefully the length the 
 rope should be after splicing, and marked 
 the points 6 and 6', Fig. A, you unlay the 
 strands from each end of the Rope to 6 and 
 6', and cut off the hemp center at 6 and 
 6', and then 
 
 First. Interlock the six unlaid strands 
 of each end alternately and draw them to- 
 gether so that the points 6 and 6' meet as 
 shown in Fig. B. 
 
 Second. Unlay a strand from one end, 
 and following the unlay closely, lay into 
 the seam or groove it opens, the strand op- 
 posite it belonging to the other end of the 
 rope, until within a length equal to three or 
 four times the length of one lay of the 
 rope, and cut the other strand to about the 
 same length from the point of meeting, as 
 shown at 1, Fig. C. 
 
 Third. Unlay the adjacent strand in the 
 opposite direction, and following the unlay 
 closely, lay in its place the corresponding 
 opposite strand, cutting the ends as de- 
 scribed before at 2, Fig. C. 
 
 It will be well after laying each pair of 
 strands to tie them temporarily at the 
 points 1 and 2. 
 
 Pursue the same course with the remain- 
 ing four pairs of opposite strands, stopping 
 each pair about eight or ten turns of the 
 rope short of the preceding pair, and cutting 
 the ends as before. 
 
 JHL 
 
 PAGE 89 
 
WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 You now have all the strands laid in their 
 proper places, with their respective ends 
 passing each other, as shown in Fig. 4, D. 
 
 All methods of rope splicing are identical 
 to this point; their variety consists in the 
 method of tucking the ends. The one given 
 below is that most generally practiced. 
 
 It now remains to secure the ends: 
 
 Clamp the rope either in a vise at a point 
 to the left* of 1, Fig. D, and, by a hand 
 clamp applied near I, open up the rope by 
 untwisting sufficiently to cut the hemp core 
 at I, and seizing it with the nippers, let your 
 assistant draw it out slowly, you following 
 it closely; crowding the strand in its place 
 until it is all laid in. Cut the hemp core 
 where the strand ends, and push the end 
 back in its place. Remove the clamps and 
 let the rope close together around it. Draw 
 out the hemp core in the opposite direction 
 and lay the other strand in the center of the 
 rope, in the same manner. Repeat the 
 operation at the five remaining points, and 
 hammer the rope lightly at the points where 
 the ends pass each other at I, 1, 2, 2, etc., 
 with small wooden mallets, and the splice 
 is complete, as shown in Fig. E. 
 
 If a clamp and vise are not obtainable, 
 two rope slings and short wooden levers may 
 be used to untwist and open up the rope . 
 
 A rope spliced as above will be nearly as 
 strong as the original rope and smooth 
 everywhere. After running a few days, 
 the splice, if well made, cannot be pointed 
 out except by close examination of an expert.

WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 TO SPLICE A THIMBLE INTO A WIRE 
 ROPE OF SIX STRANDS 
 
 r |^AKE your thimble and make it fast at 
 J_ A. Be sure to leave your rope long 
 enough from A to the numbered ends for 
 splicing; better a little too long than short. 
 For a 5^-inch or J^-inch diameter rope take 
 at least two feet. After you have made 
 your thimble fast at A, bend your rope 
 around it and clip it in a vise at D B and 
 screw up close (being careful not to cut any 
 of the wires with the corners of the vise). 
 Put a band around it at D B to keep it in 
 place. Take it from the vise and suspend 
 it from a beam by a rope attached to A. 
 Have C hanging down with a weight at- 
 tached to it, which will help to keep it 
 steady while splicing. Unlay the strands 
 as far as the band D B, and cut away the 
 hemp core. Take your splicing knife and 
 insert it below the band on the side D, and 
 drive it right through the center of the rope, 
 so as to have three strands on each side of 
 your knife. Keep your knife there while 
 you get No. 1 through above it. Before 
 passing each end through take a little of 
 the twist out of the strand. It will lay 
 better if you do; then pull at the strand 
 with your left hand, and with your knife 
 in the right hand, and still through the 
 rope, force the strand up toward and as 
 close as you can get it to the band D B. 
 Take out the knife, insert again in the same 
 place as before, but bring it out one strand 
 to the left of the last that is, have two

WATERBURY WIRE ROPE 
 
 strands on the left and four on the right side 
 of the knife. You are working from the 
 side D, and when we speak of the left of 
 the knife you will take it from your left. 
 Put No. 2 through above the knife, and, 
 with the aid of the knife, force this also as 
 close and as tight as possible to the band. 
 Insert your knife again at the same place as 
 last, but only let there be one strand on the 
 left and five on the right side of it. Take 
 No. 3 through and force it also up toward the 
 band. After this you will open one strand 
 at a time, and bring Nos. 4, 5 and 6, in 
 their turn, over and under a strand. If 
 you have followed us rightly, you will now 
 have the six ends through; no two ends will 
 be out between the same two strands; each 
 one will have its own place. You must 
 now begin again with No. 1, but do not this 
 time take it through the middle of the rope, 
 but serve it as you did 
 the last three that is, 
 take it and the others in 
 their turn over and un- 
 der one strand only. 
 Now split your strands 
 and take half of each 
 through again. File or 
 break off the wires about 
 one-quarter inch from 
 the face of the rope. 
 Now hammer the splice 
 into shape. If you wish 
 to hide the ends of the 
 broken wires you can 
 cover with marline twine.

 Explanation of Grades 
 
 WHITE LABEL MUSIC WIRE is made and intended 
 for Springs. 
 
 BLUE LABEL, for Musical Instruments, will swage 
 and loop; this wire has a very high breaking strain. 
 
 RED LABEL, for cutting wires, mild in temper; will 
 swage and loop. Is used principally for soap, dough, 
 butter and brick tile cutting, also silk mills, and in 
 fact for all cutting purposes.

 BROWN LABEL is used for treble strings on pianos; 
 spinning wire and short bend springs. 
 
 GREEN LABEL is a mild-tempered wire for dental 
 and surgical instruments.

 Waterbury Music Wire for strength, uni- 
 formity, tone, quality and every known req- 
 uisite for a perfect wire is without a su- 
 perior. Aside from its use for musical 
 instruments, it will be found most satisfac- 
 tory for electrical work, extension and com- 
 pression springs, helical and spiral springs, 
 knitting and weaving machinery, carpet 
 sweepers, toys, calculation machines, auto- 
 matic machines of all kinds and divers other 
 uses. Uniformity of stock, temper and ac- 
 curate drawing make Waterbury Wire 
 the peer of music spring wire. See list on 
 succeeding page.

 This great Dredge of the Packard Company, the 
 
 largest operating in New York Harbor, is 
 
 equipped throughout with Waterbury 
 
 Armored Rope. 
 
WAT ERE U R Y 
 
 ARMORED ROPE 
 
 THE tensile strength of wire rope of 
 standard construction begins to de- 
 crease immediately it is put into serv- 
 ice. This deterioration is frequently quite 
 rapid, especially when the ropes are used 
 on outdoor work where they are subjected 
 to sudden changes in atmospheric condi- 
 tions and to the abrasive action of gritty 
 substances, such as sand, pulverized rock, 
 coal dust, etc. 
 
 Waterbury Armored Rope (Gore Patent) 
 embodies the first radical and important im- 
 provement in wire rope construction in 
 many years. Each strand of the rope is 
 wound with flat steel wire having convex 
 edges and this forms a protective armor 
 
WATERBURY ARMORED ROPE 
 
 relieves the 
 tensile strength 
 wires of all abras- 
 ive wear and re- 
 tains intact the 
 strength of the rope 
 } until after these 
 flat wires have been 
 worn completely 
 through. 
 
 The experience of 
 many users of 
 
 Waterbury Armored Rope in various lines 
 of work has demonstrated that its life is 
 from two to three times that of similar 
 quality rope of standard construction. 
 
 The detail of Waterbury Armored Rope 
 construction which makes it a practical 
 rope for hoisting and haulage is the convex 
 edges of the armor wires. These convex 
 edges permit the flexing of the rope without

 any creeping of the 
 armor wires. 
 
 For severe usage 
 in hoisting and 
 haulage equip- 
 ments, dredging, 
 steam shovel serv- 
 ice and other gen- 
 eral uses, it is far 
 superior to the or- 
 dinary rope of bare 
 wire construction . 
 
 Composed of 6 strands, 19 wires to the 
 strand; 6 strands, 37 wires to each strand, 
 or 6 strands, 61 wires to each strand, with 
 hemp center or wire center as the condi- 
 tions may demand, each strand being cov- 
 ered or wound with flat wires having con- 
 vex edges. (Other constructions can be 
 made to order.) 
 
 The object of flat wire serving is to take 
 abrasion on crown of strands from the ten- 
 sile strength wires, also at the point the 
 strand adjoins and wires converge and chafe 
 during flexing movement. 
 
 The life of this rope is materially length- 
 ened, this increase ranging from 50 to 150 
 per cent according to conditions, The 
 working life of the sheave grooves is main-

 The flat wires 
 when worn through 
 do not project, but 
 are pushed down 
 into the interstices 
 of the rope, thus giving a greater wearing 
 surface than is ordinarily obtained. 
 
 Note in the illustration that the flat wires 
 are held transversely to the axis of rope so 
 that the same do not affect its flexibility. 
 
 The initial factor of safety is maintained 
 longer in Waterbury Armored Wire Rope 
 (Gore Patent), than in any other construe-

 tion. The strands are intended to take all 
 the strains to which the rope is ordinarily 
 subjected, and the flat wire covering is 
 merely for the purpose of protecting the 
 tensile strength wires from abrasion and 
 exposure and to assist the strands in retain- 
 ing grease for internal lubrication. 
 
 An important factor is the lack of in- 
 ternal friction between the strands them- 
 selves, for in bending, it is impossible for 
 the flat wires to interlock, which is the fail- 
 ing of the ordinary construction. 
 
 Another advantage is found in the fact 
 that it is possible to use a wire rope core, or,

 On Floating Derricks and similar apparatus, Water- 
 bury Armored Rope will be found exceedingly 
 economical. 
 
 in other words, a wire rope within a wire 
 rope as chafing between the inner rope and 
 the outer or covering rope is absolutely 
 prevented by the flat wires. 
 
 The extraordinary flexibility to be had 
 from this construction, taking the breaking 
 strain into consideration, has to be seen 
 and tried to be appreciated. 
 
 The flat wires are rolled from a special 
 cold drawn acid open hearth round wire 
 which leaves the edges convex and prevents 
 the wire crowding during the bending of the 
 rope .

WATERBURY ARMORED ROPE 
 
 Waterbury Armored Rope is especially suited for 
 
 Steam Shovel Work. On machines of the kind 
 
 shown above, it shows superior 
 
 wearing qualities. 
 
 Users of this rope find that after outlast- 
 ing the ordinary rope the flat wires are then 
 just beginning to pack into the interstices, 
 thereby greatly increasing the outside wear- 
 ing surface. It is from this point on to its 
 total destruction that the Waterbury 
 Armored Wire Rope (Gore Patent) shows 
 its fine wearing qualities , 
 
 Where extra flexibility is required in the 
 larger sizes of rope, we are prepared to fur- 
 nish rope with a greater number of wires to 
 each strand. The score of sheaves should 
 be based on the outside diameter of rope.

 This Bucyrus Drag Line Steam Caterpillar is equipped 
 
 with Waterbury Armored Rope. For machines 
 
 of this kind no other rope will 
 
 give equal service. 
 
 In splicing Waterbury Armored Wire 
 Rope (Gore Patent) , follow the same rule as 
 you would in splicing rope of Standard Con- 
 struction. Bind the ends and tuck them in 
 as you would following splicing of ordinary 
 wire rope . 
 
 Lubricate ropes frequently. A suitable lu- 
 bricant will add life to rope, will prevent in- 
 ternal and external rust, will keep rope pliable.

 r I^HE experience of the American Dredg-

 terbury Armored Rope is given below: 
 
 "The Waterbury Armored Wire Rope that we pur- 
 chased from you last year, has proven everything you 
 claimed for it, and we are more than satisfied with 
 the service we have gotten out of it. 
 
 Since ordering the first piece, we have equipped 
 all of our dredges with the Waterbury Armored Rope 
 and although we have given it the severest kinds of 
 tests, it has stood up beyond our expectations. 
 
 We have decided to specify W r aterbury Armored 
 Rope on all our future orders, and to borrow the 
 expression 'We. won't be happy until we get it.' "

 IN RECLAMATION SERVICE 
 
 STERNBERG BROTHERS, of Pine 
 Bluff, Ark., contractors, making a spe- 
 cialty of swamp land reclamation have 
 used Waterbury Armored Rope in this 
 work, and their opinion of it follows: 
 
 "With reference to your Ij^-inch Waterbury 
 Armored rope which was used on our 2^-yard Marion 
 dredge the results obtained have more than met with 
 our expectations. 
 
 Your first rope was put in service February 10th, 
 and was used continuously until April 21st, having 
 excavated sixty-eight stations with fifty-five foot bot- 
 tom width, some of which .was twenty-four feet deep 
 and approximately one hundred and sixty thousand 
 yards of hard material. 
 
 This is more than double the service of other ropes 
 .we have used under exactly the same conditions, and 
 we are satisfied that you have made good your guaran- 
 tee of service in every respect."

WATERBURY ARMORED ROPE 
 
 IN DIPPER DREDGE WORK 
 
 EVERY engineer and contractor who 
 has had experience in this class of work 
 knows that it is a severe test of rope quality. 
 The Fitz Simons & Connell Dredge & Dock 
 Company of Chicago operate many large 
 dipper dredges, and the following is their 
 statement in regard to Waterbury Armored 
 Rope: 
 
 "We have been using on our No. 6 dredge during 
 the season of 1914 one of your 'Gore' construction lj 
 inch hoisting cables. This rope has been in service 
 for about 867 actual working hours and during that 
 time has handled about 165,000 cu. yds. of material. 
 At this writing the rope is still in use. 
 
 We write this to give you an idea of the service we 
 are getting from Waterbury Armored Wire Rope."

 with the result described by them, as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 "Referring to your favor of November 22d. Please 
 be advised that your 1 x lf/s Gore Construction Rope 
 is giving us about 120 days' service against 60 to 80 
 days' service from an ordinary wire cable. We find it 
 a very satisfactory cable and are using the same con- 
 struction of rope on our smaller shovels to as good an 
 advantage as the larger rope is giving."

 IN SAND HANDLING WORK 
 
 r |THE abrasive wear upon ropes used with 
 J- machines for handling this class of ma- 
 terial is probably as great, if not greater, 
 than with any other. The Lake Sand Com- 
 pany of Chicago have installed Waterbury 
 Armored Rope on all of their shovels, and 
 the following is a statement of their experi- 
 ence with it: 
 
 "It gives us great pleasure in recommending this 
 rope, as we have found it greatly superior to all other 
 ropes used by us, having performed more work than 
 any two, and sometimes three, of the best ropes pre- 
 viously used."

 following experience of the El Oro 
 Dredging Company with Waterbury 
 Armored Rope requires no additional com- 
 ment: 
 
 "We used as a side-line on a large dredge 650 feet 
 of J^-inch rope of high grade and from one of the large 
 manufacturers, which lasted 183 days. We replaced 
 this with 650 feet of %-inch crucible steel Waterbury 
 Armored Rope furnished by you, and at this writing it 
 has been in service 254 days and we have no present 
 intention of taking it out. 
 
 "In other words, it has already given us twice the 
 service of the other rope for each dollar of cost and we 
 are not through with it."

WAT E R B U R Y 
 
 FIBRECLAD WIRE ROPE 
 
 WATERBTJRY Fibreclad Wire Rope 
 is a wire rope each strand of which 
 is served with the best grade of 
 tarred Russian Hemp Marline. This fibre 
 covering prevents the chafing and wear of 
 the wire strands during flexing movements, 
 and after being in service a short time this 
 fibre covering packs into the interstices of 
 the strands resulting in a rope having a 
 smooth cylindrical surface. 
 
 The tarred Marline covering also protects 
 the wire strands of the rope from moisture 
 or water, eliminating the possibility of rust 
 and also preventing foreign matter such as 
 coal or cement, -dust, gases and fumes, etc., 
 from working through to the wire strands. 
 
WATERBURY FIBRECLAD ROPE 
 
 Unlike Manila Rope, Fibreclad is un- 
 affected by changes in atmospheric condi- 
 tions; it will not stretch in dry weather nor 
 contract in wet weather. Manila Rope will 
 swell and jam the blocks. Waterbury Fibre- 
 clad Rope will not swell or jam nor ice up in 
 freezing weather. 
 
 A few of the many advantages of Water- 
 bury Fibreclad Wire Rope are briefly enu- 
 merated on the following page. 
 
 STRENGTH is far greater than that of 
 Manila Rope of the same size. Fibreclad 
 is about y% the diameter of Manila Rope of 
 the same strength, permitting the use of 
 smaller blocks, reducing expense and im- 
 proving appearance. 
 
 WEIGHT is 50 per cent less than that of 
 Manila of the same strength. 
 
WATERBURY FIBRECLAD ROPE 
 
 FLEXIBILITY Fibreclad will coil 
 down as readily as Manila Rope. 
 
 RUST-PROOF It will not rust or rot 
 out in service as the fibre covering is im- 
 pregnated with lubricant and preserves the 
 wire. 
 
 WEAR It will outwear either bare wire 
 or Manila Rope under all ordinary working 
 conditions. 
 
 HANDLING As the wires are fibre 
 covered it is more easily handled than wire 
 rope of standard construction and it is less 
 cumbersome than Manila. 
 
 SPLICING A Fibreclad wire rope may 
 be spliced in the same manner as a bare wire 
 rope except that the ends of the strands 
 should be served with hard cotton of small 
 diameter or bound with tape to prevent the 
 Marline covering from stripping or coming 
 off. 
 
 The same process should be followed in 
 splicing 5 strand as in the case of 6 strand 
 bare wire rope, keeping in mind, however, 
 that it is necessary that the ends be firmly 
 bound or served to prevent stripping. 
 
 PAGE 133 
 
WATERBURY FIBRECLAD ROPE 
 
 In hoisting work of every character Waterbury Fibre- 
 clad Wire Rope gives unusually long service. 
 
 GRADES It is made in all grades of 
 iron and steel. 
 
 COST As it wears longer the ultimate 
 cost is lower than that of either plain wire or 
 Manila rope. 
 
 During years of service Waterbury Fibre- 
 clad Wire Rope has proven superior for 
 many rope purposes including: cargo falls, 
 boom lifts, topping lifts, boat falls, whips, 
 pennants, breast lines, tiller ropes, anchor

 ropes, hawsers, vangs, slings, towing lines, 
 guys and rigging in general, coal breakers, 
 coal washing machinery, pile drivers, oyster 
 dredges, crane falls on wrecking cars, hoist- 
 ing and power transmission. 
 
 It is now being used extensively by the 
 U. S. Government, shipbuilders, power 
 plants, stevedoring, towing and transporta- 
 tion companies. If you will advise us of 
 your requirements we will gladly submit 
 samples and full information.

WATERBURY FIBRECLAD ROPE 
 
 FIBRECLAD TRANSMISSION ROPE 
 
 For transmission of power in mills or 
 where driving ropes are used in coal break- 
 ers, for coal washing or coal crushing, ce- 
 ment mills, cotton mills and numerous 
 other places, Waterbury Fibreclad Rope is 
 superior to either bare wire or manila rope 
 as it combines the advantages of both and 
 has none of their disadvantages. This rope 
 is also particularly desirable for hoisting 
 and other general uses. 
 
 It will work admirably on either English 
 or American systems; sheaves need not be 
 changed; is not affected by weather or 
 moisture; will not rust as the Marline cover- 
 ing affords perfect protection . The Marline 
 also retains a sufficient amount of lubrica- 
 tion to preserve wires for a long period of 
 time. Fibreclad has great flexibility and 
 high efficiency, unlimited capacity and the 
 maximum of strength. The coefficient of 
 friction of Fibreclad is such that V-shaped 
 grooves are not essential, although more 
 lasting results follow when ample contact 
 is allowed (without pinching) or when the 
 grooves fit closely the curvature of the 
 rope's cross section. 
 
 Fibreclad reduces the cost of installation, 
 fewer wraps, hence less rope is required to 
 
 PAGE 136 
 
WATERS URY FIBRECLAD ROPE 
 
 transmit the same amount of power. It 
 does not require packed or filled sheaves, 
 works most satisfactory without them. 
 
 Upon receipt of template of grooves of 
 present sheaves and advice as to whether 
 system employed is American or English, 
 we will be glad to make recommendations. 
 
 Fibreclad wire rope will replace several 
 manila ropes and at an ultimate less cost, 
 hence, it is our earnest recommendation 
 that you at least investigate the many ad- 
 vantages of the covered wire rope.

WATERBURY FIBRECLAD ROPE 
 
 FIBRECLAD ROPE FOR GRAIN 
 ELEVATOR SERVICE 
 
 WE make a Fibreclad Rope known as 
 Grain Shovel and Shipper Rope 
 construction 19 wires to strand in 3, 
 4 or 6 strands as desired (3 strand rope being 
 known as Shipper Rope) with hemp core. 
 
 This class of Rope is particularly well- 
 adapted to Grain Elevators, being most 
 economical for that purpose. 
 
 Is pliable and strong, and withstands the 
 abrasion which under ordinary working 
 conditions is so hard on Manila. Its 
 ultimate cost is less than Manila as it gives 
 far greater service. 
 
 The Marline serving acts as a safeguard 
 against external and internal wear, keeps 
 strands lubricated; hence preserves and in- 
 creases the working life of rope many times 
 beyond that of bare wire rope. 
 
 For strength, lightness, flexibility and 
 final results Fibreclad Grain Shovel and 
 Shipper Ropes are unequaled and those 
 who have heretofore used Manila Rope and 
 Bare Wire Rope will quickly recognize the 
 superiority of Fibreclad.

FOREWORD 
 
 ONE hundred years ago, in the City of 
 New York, was founded the Water- 
 bury Cordage business, now con- 
 ducted under the name of the Waterbury 
 Company. 
 
 The very fact that a product has been 
 manufactured for such a long period, by 
 the founder of an industry and his succes- 
 sors, is evidence of maintained high quality 
 and continuous fair dealing. 
 
 A Waterbury "Brand" when marked on 
 a package is a guarantee of the quality of 
 the contents. The grades represented by 
 the several Brands are listed on the follow- 
 ing pages.

 The weight and strength of Manila rope per table, is approximate 
 and may vary slightly either way. Manila and Sisal Standard Rope 
 will weigh about alike. In the lower grades of Manila and Sisal 
 there are greater variations in weight and strength, according to 
 quality. Four (4) strand rope weighs from 5 per cent to 7 per cent 
 heavier than three (3) strand plain laid rope. Manila rope runs 
 approximately 25 per cent stronger than Sisal,

 The working strain should not be greater than one-third the break- 
 ing strain. We recommend a larger factor of safety, as the greater 
 the factor, the longer the life of rope. 
 
 Indicate when ordering whether diameter or circumference is 
 wanted. Unless specified it is understood that diameter measure- 
 ment governs. 
 
 Unless otherwise stated all quotations are made basis and subject 
 to market changes in price, without notice.

 UNCOILING ROPE 
 
 , 
 
 To open a coil of rope, loosen the burlap 
 wrapping, lay the coil on the flat side with 
 the inside end nearest the floor. Then 
 reach down through the center and grasp 
 the end of the rope, drawing it up and out 
 through the center of the coil. Do not un- 
 coil from the outside as extra turns are put 
 in the rope and kinks are apt to form. 
 
 PAGE 160 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 CORDAGE 
 
 r I ^HE word "cordage" is used in a com- 
 J. prehensive sense to include all sizes and 
 varieties of the articles from binder twine 
 to a cable 15 inches in circumference, 
 though strictly speaking the term is hardly 
 applicable to a rope that is less than half 
 an inch in diameter. 
 
 The materials employed for rope making 
 are Manila, Sisal and other vegetable fibres. 
 Sisal from Yucatan is largely used for the 
 manufacture of cheaper grades of rope and 
 for binder twine. 
 
 MANILA HEMP 
 
 is more extensively used in the manufacture 
 of cordage than any other material, as its 
 great pliancy and strength adapt it to a 
 multitude of uses . Manila hemp is obtained 
 from a species of wild plantain belonging to 
 the banana family and is a native of the 
 Philippine Islands. Its stem has a height 
 of from 15 to 20 feet, is of a dark-green color 
 and very smooth on the surface. The fibre 
 is round, silky-looking, white, lustrous, 
 easily separated, stiff, very tenacious, and 
 very light. Although not in itself very 
 large, the fibre is composed of very fine and 
 much elongated bast-cells. The length of 
 the cells is about a quarter of an inch, and 
 they are not, as commonly supposed, held 
 together by an intercellular tissue or muci- 
 laginous substance. The characteristic 
 roughness possessed by manila fibre is due 
 
 PAGE l6l 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 entirely to mechanical causes, such as for 
 instance, the laceration of a cell in the sep- 
 aration from the leaf -stalk, or the subse- 
 quent opening out of the ends of the cells. 
 While the fibres are weak transversely, 
 they have great strength in the direction 
 of their length. The tensile strength of 
 manila fibres will average over 30,000 
 pounds per square inch of section. 
 
 SISAL 
 
 Sisal as a fibre is a substitute for Manila. 
 The length of Manila is usually from 6 feet 
 to 10 feet, while Sisal will average 2 feet to 
 4 feet. The tensile strength is not more 
 than three-quarters that of Manila. The 
 color of Sisal, a yellowish white, sometimes 
 with green tinge. It lacks the gloss and 
 brilliancy of Manila of good grades. Ma- 
 nila is smooth and pliable, Sisal stiff and 
 harsh and easily injured by exposure to 
 moisture and the elements far more so 
 than Manila. Sisal is used for tying pur- 
 poses such as Lath Yarn, Tie Rope, bun- 
 dling Laths, Shingles, Lumber, Kindling- 
 wood, Cooperage Stock, Hides, Leather, 
 Nursery Stock, Grain Sacks, Baling Cloth 
 in textile mills, and other uses. Sisal Ropes 
 and Yarns are made in two grades; pure , i .e . , 
 Waterbury Brand, and Common, i.e., Com- 
 mercial or Mixed, being made oiled or dry 
 as desired. 
 
 TREATMENT 
 
 The preliminary treatment of Fibre, after 
 it reaches the Cordage Mill, is practically 
 the same whether it be Manila or Sisal. 
 
 PAGE 162 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 BOLT ROPE 
 
 Bolt Rope means a rope of extra fine qual- 
 ity Manila Fibre, superior to standard or 
 Commercial Manila Rope as used by the 
 trade in general. The yarns in the rope are 
 also spun finer although the size of the yarns 
 or thread depends on the size of the rope. 
 It commands a higher price than ordinary 
 pure Manila Rope, being five cents per 
 pound above the basis of regular Manila. 
 It is materially lighter, size for size, than 
 regular Manila of all sizes, and will range 
 10 to 15 per cent stronger. It is longer 
 lived, easier to handle and good appearing, 
 being whiter than Commercial Rope. 
 
 In the use of Bolt Rope the operator will 
 secure the same service from the smaller 
 sizes, thus effecting a saving in both weight 
 and ultimate cost. 
 
 WATERBURY HOISTING OR FALL 
 ROPE 
 
 This type of rope is generally 4 strand, 
 with heart made of harder lay than ordinary 
 4 strand rope, the object being to make the 
 rope firm and to hold its shape under stress 
 or pressure. 
 
 For use on Coal Docks, Grain Elevators, 
 Cargo and Quarry Hoists, Pile-Driver and 
 Hammer Lines. Sizes run %^/i inch to 6 
 inch circumference. Stock used, selected 
 Fibre Transmission Rope stock, although 
 some users specify Bolt Rope stock.

 WATERBURY STANDARD MANILA 
 ROPE 
 
 Waterbury Standard Manila Rope is 
 in either 3 or 4 strand, the latter with or 
 without heart. This grade of rope is most 
 suitable for general work, is most commonly 
 called for, and is most extensively sold by 
 dealers and distributors. 
 
 Waterbury Brand is made of selected and 
 tough Manila fibre, and is the standard by 
 which other grades of rope are measured. 
 
 REX BRAND ROPE 
 
 Our second grade of Rope is made from a 
 less expensive grade of fibre, but most satis- 
 factory for general use, where hazardous 
 conditions are not encountered . This grade 
 of rope is sold largely by the hardware mer- 
 chants and general merchandise trade. 
 Manufactured in all sizes, also 3 or 4 strand. 
 
 "B" GRADE ROPE 
 
 Our third grade Rope, well made, uni- 
 form and strong; made to meet the demands 
 of trade wanting an inexpensive rope; for 
 use where requirements are not so exacting 
 as to demand first quality stock. "B" 
 Grade is made in all sizes; also 3 or 4 strand . 
 This grade is also known as Hardware 
 Brand.

 Towing Lines, or Canal Lines, are gen- 
 erally Bolt Rope Stock, although in some 
 cases users specify a pure good grade of 
 Manila Rope known as standard first qual- 
 ity (our Waterbury Brand) . Towing Lines 
 are medium soft lay, i. e.,,with slightly less 
 twist than generally put in standard ropes. 
 Buyers should specify grade wanted. 
 
 STEAMBOAT LINES 
 
 Steamboat Lines for docking vessels are 
 generally medium soft laid Bolt stock or 
 Pure Standard Grade. When made me- 
 dium soft lay they are easier to handle and 
 withstand sudden strains. Always specify 
 whether Bolt Stock or regular Standard 
 Stock is wanted. 
 
 WHEEL ROPE 
 
 Wheel Rope for Steering Gear is made 4 
 strand with heart. The lay is not quite so 
 hard as Hoisting Rope, being made flexible 
 for use over wheel drums on Boats, Barges, 
 Tugs, Dredges and similar outfits . Made in 
 both Transmission and Bolt Rope Stock. 
 Transmission stock 5 cents per pound over 
 Basis; Bolt stock 5 cents per pound over 
 Basis. 
 
 MILL CARRIAGE ROPE 
 
 Mill Carriage Rope for Saw Mill use. To 
 operate the carriage holding the log the best 
 grade of rope is required as in the operation 
 it is subjected to sudden jerks and severe 
 service. The rope is 4 strand with heart, 
 Transmission Rope stock, but in many

 "DRILLWELL" BRAND DRILLING 
 CABLES 
 
 Drilling Cables are made from carefully 
 chosen grades of fibre, graded for toughness 
 and general wearing quality. Every care is 
 taken in the manufacture of cables as to 
 spinning the yarns, the lay of the strand, 
 lubrication, etc., in order to get strength 
 and wearing quality so necessary. Drilling 
 Cables are made 
 three ropes laid into 
 one (or 9 strands), 
 so formed to be thor- 
 oughly uniform, of 
 correct lay and ten- 
 sion in each of the 
 three ropes (or 
 thirds) forming the 
 finished product. 
 Drilling Cables are 
 referred to as Hawser 
 
 Laid Rope, i. e., three ropes twisted to- 
 gether, the twist being in opposite direc- 
 tions to the twist of the ropes, and is usually 
 left hand, the advantage being that a 
 properly made Hawser Laid Rope over 
 other types of rope has greater elasticity 
 or springiness and greater wearing surface. 
 Sizes range from 1%-mch to 2^/2-inch 
 diameter. 
 
 All of our Drilling Cables are especially 
 lubricated to prevent internal fricton also 
 to keep the fibre from becoming very dry, 
 thus preventing disintegration.

WATER BURY CORDAGE 
 
 SAND LINES (Manila) are similar in 
 construction to Drilling Cable, but smaller 
 in size, ranging from Y% inch to 1J4 inch 
 diameter, generally Y% inch, J/g inch, and 
 1 inch. 
 
 TUBING LINES AND SUCKER ROD 
 LINES, as used in oil drilling, carry the 
 same prices as drilling lines, construction 
 being similar. 
 
 Manila Tubing Lines range from 1^ inch 
 to 2J/2 inch diameter. Manila Sucker Rod 
 Lines usually range from 1J4 inch to 1^ 
 inch diameter. 
 
 Cables also furnished made of fine yarns 
 termed Bolted Drilling Cables. Owing to 
 increased cost of spinning the fine yarn, in 
 addition to the specially selected fibre, this 
 type of cable is sold at an advance over the 
 regular cable. Price on application.

 HAYING ROPES 
 
 HAYING ROPES, standard grade rope 
 of either 3 or 4 strand, ranging in sizes from 
 Y inch to 1 inch. 
 
 Our Waterbury Brand of Manila has a 
 wide sale, although Rex Brand is called for 
 by some. 
 
 We furnish the 4 strand rope with or 
 without heart, as preferred. Where surface 
 wear is the factor, the 4 strand rope is to be 
 preferred, being more cylindrical, and wears 
 rounder and smoother. 
 
 Waterbury Brand is made of selected and! 
 tough Manila fibre and is the standard by 
 which other grades of rope are measured. 
 
 TENT ROPE 
 
 TENT ROPE is extra soft lay to permit 
 of being opened up for sewing. It is used to 
 line the edge of tent canvas and for guy 
 lines. Made in Manila and Sisal (Pure), 
 generally unoiled. 
 
 HALTER ROPE 
 
 HALTER ROPE is soft laid made, both 
 oiled and unoiled, also 4 strand if desired.

 TO MAKE A SHORT SPLICE 
 
 Figure 1 
 
 Figure 2 
 
 Figure 3 
 
 To make a short splice, Figs. 1, 2 and 3, 
 unlay the strands of each rope for a con- 
 venient length . Bring the rope ends to- 
 gether so that each strand of one rope lies 
 between the two consecutive strands of the 
 other rope. Draw the strands of the first 
 rope along the second, and grasp with one 
 hand. Then work a free strand of the 
 second rope over the nearest strand of the 
 
 PAGE 182 
 
WATERBURY 
 
 CORDAGE 
 
 first rope and under the second strand, 
 working in a direction opposite to the twist 
 of the rope. The same operation applied 
 to all the strands will give the result shown 
 by Fig. 2. The splicing may be continued 
 in the same manner to any extent (Fig. 3) 
 and the free ends of the strands may be cut 
 off when desired. The splice may be neatly 
 tapered by cutting out a few fibres from 
 each every time it is passed through the 
 rope. Rolling under a board or the foot 
 will make the splice compact. 
 
 TO MAKE A LONG SPLICE 
 
 Figure 4 
 
 To make a long splice, Figs. 4 and 5, the 
 rope should be unlaid for a greater distance 
 than for a short splice, and the ends brought 
 together, with strands interlacing. Instead 
 of tucking at once, unlay al (one of the 
 strands of A) for a considerable distance, 
 and in place of it lay up bl (the adjoining 
 strand of B), thus working a strand of B 
 
 PAGE 183 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 Figure 5 
 
 into A, for about a foot and a half or two 
 feet. For convenience, twist up al and bl 
 together temporarily, as in Fig. 5. Turn 
 the rope end for end, unlay b2 (one of the 
 strands of B), and in place of it lay up a 
 (the adjoining strand of A), a3 and b3 left 
 lying beside each other without being un- 
 laid. We now have three pairs of strands 
 at different points of the rope. Beginning 
 with a2 and b (for example) separate each 
 of these strands into two parts, and taking 
 one-half of each strand, overhand knot 
 these together (K, Fig. 5), and tuck them 
 as in a short splice, over one and under one 
 of the full remaining strands of the rope 
 (Fig. 5). 
 
 The other pairs of strands (al, bl) (a2, 
 b2) are similarly reduced, knotted, and 
 tucked. The spare half of each strand is 
 trimmed off smooth, likewise the ends of the 
 other halves after they have been tucked.

 eye of the proper size. Pass a second loose 
 strand (b) under the strand of the rope next 
 to the strand, which secures (a) (Fig. 7). 
 Pass the third strand (c) under the strand 
 next to that which secures (b) (Fig. 8).

 (6) feet from each end. Then unlay the 
 strands of each end back to the twine . 
 
 2 . Butt the ropes together and twist each 
 corresponding pair of strands loosely, to 
 keep them from being tangled, as shown 
 at (a). 
 
 3. The twine (10) is now cut, and the 
 strand (8) unlaid and strand 7 carefully 
 laid in its place for a distance of four and 
 a half feet from the junction. 
 
 4. The stand 6 is next unlaid about one 
 and a half feet and strand 5 laid in its 
 place .

 so they just meet. 
 
 6. Unlay strand 1 four and a half feet, 
 laying strand 2 in its place. 
 
 7. Unlay strand 3 one and a half feet, 
 laying in strand 4.

 8. Cut all the strands off to a length of 
 about 20 inches, for convenience in manipu- 
 lation. The rope now assumes the form 
 shown in Fig. 11, with the meeting-points 
 of the strands three feet apart. 
 
 Each pair of strands is now successively 
 subjected to the following operations: 
 
 9. From the point of meeting of the 
 strands 8 and 7 unlay each one three turns; 
 split both the strand 8 and the strand 7 in 
 halves, as far back as they are now unlaid, 
 and the end of each half-strand "whipped" 
 with a small piece of twine. 
 
 Figure 12 
 
 PAGE 187 
 
WATERBURY 
 
 CORDAGE 
 
 10. The half of the strand 7 is now laid 
 in three turns and the half of 8 also laid 
 in three turns. The half strands now meet 
 and are tied in a simple knot 11 (Fig. 12), 
 making the rope at this point its original 
 size. 
 
 Figure 13 
 
 11. The rope is now opened with a mar- 
 linspike, and the half strand of 7 worked 
 around the half strand of 8 by passing the 
 end of the half strand through the rope, 
 as shown, drawn taut, and again worked 
 around this half strand until it reaches the 
 half strand 13 that was not laid in. This 
 half strand 13 is now split, and the half 
 strand 7 drawn through the opening thus 
 made, and then tucked under the two ad- 
 jacent strands, as shown in Fig. 13. 
 
 12, The other half of the strand 8 is now 
 wound around the other half-strand 7 in 
 the same way. After each pair of strands 
 has been treated in this manner, the ends 
 are cut off at 12, leaving them about four 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 inches long. After a few days' wear they 
 will draw into the body of the rope or wear 
 off, so that the locality of the splice can 
 scarcely be detected. 
 
 For a three-strand rope of the same size, 
 the foregoing method is slightly modified. 
 After tying the twine 9 and 10 around the 
 rope about 6 feet from each end, unlay the 
 strands back to the twine, bring the butts 
 together, and twist the corresponding 
 strands loosely together. Now cut twine 
 10, and unlay strand 8 for a distance of four 
 and a half feet from the junction, and lay 
 in strand 7. Unlay strand 1, four and a 
 half feet; lay in strand 2, and cut all the 
 strands off to a length of about 20 inches, 
 as before explained for convenience in 
 handling. The splice now assumes an ap- 
 pearance similar to Fig. 11, with the excep- 
 tion that there are only three meeting points 
 of the strands, and these are four and a half 
 feet apart. 
 
 Each pair of strands is now subjected to 
 the series of operations described for the 
 4-strand splice, in steps 9 to 12, inclusive.

 WATERBURY TRANSMISSION ROPE 
 
 WE make a rope especially prepared for 
 the transmission of power. This rope 
 is made from the best selected Manila 
 Hemp. For transmission of power, Water- 
 bury Transmission Rope is made with four 
 strands, unless otherwise ordered. The 
 yarns of this rope are each coated with a 
 special composition, so that when twisted 
 into strands the coating lodges among the 
 fibres, and thoroughly lubricates the strands 
 and individual fibres composing the rope, 
 thus making it practically as near water- 
 proof as possible. 
 
 In placing these ropes on the market we 
 offer a Manila Rope made as nearly perfect 
 as the best machinery, superior quality of 
 material, and good workmanship can pro- 
 duce. 
 
 We make and guarantee every coil of 
 Transmission Rope we sell. 
 
 We cannot furnish this rope at the same 
 price as common rope, but guarantee our 
 Transmission Rope, and know it will out- 
 wear several common ropes for transmission 
 purposes. 
 
 When desired, we furnish Transmission 
 Rope Tallow Laid, or Graphite Laid. Or- 
 ders, however, should so specify, as our 
 stock rope is made with our special com- 
 pound referred to above.

 laps of ropes are used and durability is de- 
 sired . It is also necessary to have the rope 
 well lubricated so as to preserve it. 
 
 There are many advantages in rope trans- 
 mission; i. e. 
 
 1 . The amount of power and the distance 
 over which it can be transmitted. 
 
 2. Runs in any direction and location 
 and will operate successfully in the vertical 
 as well as the horizontal position. 
 
 3. Has high mechanical efficiency; its loss 
 of power slippage is practically eliminated. 
 
 4. Is positive, quiet and steady in opera- 
 tion, regardless of the amount of power 
 transmitted . 
 
 5. Economy in space as compared with 
 belts, and eliminates electrical disturbance 
 so frequently incident to the use of belts. 
 
 6. Can be operated with long or short 
 shaft centers. 
 
 7. Low cost, economy in maintenance. 
 As each installation presents a different 
 
 problem it would be well for buyers con- 
 templating the adoption of rope transmis- 
 sion to submit their problems to us for 
 further information. Two systems are in 
 common use, one known as the continuous 
 or American, the other, multiple or English 
 system. 
 
 PAGE IQ2 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 The American system consists of one end- 
 less rope wrapped around the driving and 
 driven sheaves, and a loop of the rope car- 
 ried by means of the winder sheave around 
 a traveling tension sheave, so as to transfer 
 the rope from an outside groove of the driv- 
 ing sheave to the opposite outside groove of 
 the driven sheave; only one splice in the 
 rope is necessary. 
 
 The English system requires larger shaft 
 centers and larger diameter of ropes, so as 
 to provide the necessary amount of tension 
 to prevent slippage . These large ropes also 
 require larger diameter of sheaves . Under 
 the English or multiple system a slack or 
 loose rope will vibrate to a certain extent, 
 which means it is necessary to use deeper 
 grooves, with higher crests to prevent ropes 
 jumping over grooves. Under the English 
 system one or more of the ropes may be 
 broken and taken off without impairing the 
 service, as each rope operates independ- 
 ently. In an outdoor drive, however, the 
 English system is somewhat at a disad- 
 vantage, as there is no provision made, as in 
 the American drive system, to compensate 
 for the shortening and lengthening of the 
 ropes to the varying effects of the weather. 
 
 When using Transmission Rope, avoid 
 contact with anything stationary chafing 
 injures rope quickly. If necessary to use 
 small pulleys, use small ropes; increase the 
 number as resistance to bending decreases 
 with the smaller ropes.

 Economical speed is rated at 4,500 feet 
 per minute; slow speed increases durability. 
 
 Avoid overloading; either use larger 
 ropes, if grooves permit, or add additional 
 ropes. 
 
 Avoid having ropes rub against each 
 other between pulleys . 
 
 Put only enough weight on tension car- 
 riage to allow rope to run without vibration 
 and slippage in grooves. 
 
 Dressing applied to rope when damp will 
 cause mildew and rot. 
 
 Life will be taken from rope stretched on 
 blocks for several days . Ease up the stretch . 
 
 Rope sheaves should have the same pitch 
 line in every groove, otherwise rope will 
 creep. Any roughness in the surface of 
 grooves will rapidly injure the rope. 
 
 Every care should be taken in making 
 splice for Transmission Rope. 
 
 Lubrication of splice should be given 
 special attention. Failure of rope generally 
 occurs at splice, hence this part of rope 
 should be kept pliable and soft. 
 
 For splicing 3 strand Transmission Rope, 
 allow two-thirds of lengths noted in table. 
 
 Jumping ropes may be due to poor splic- 
 ing or sudden variations in the load; hence 
 steadiness in speed is an essential feature. 
 
 Sheave diameters for average conditions 
 and good life of rope should be 40 times 
 the diameter of rope, but never less than 36 
 times, although 50 times is advised for un-

 hampered conditions and long life of rope. 
 Sixty times would increase the efficiency of 
 drive very materially, as the larger the 
 sheave the longer the life of rope. 
 
 Rope wear is aggravated by the use of 
 small sheaves due to frequent bending and 
 straightening of the rope. 
 
 ORDERING 
 
 When sending orders state number of 
 ropes wanted, the diameter and length of 
 each piece; also whether 3 or 4 strand. In 
 ordering ropes to be spliced by the pur- 
 chaser, include allowance for splice (see 
 table), otherwise length as specified will be 
 sent. 
 
 Unless otherwise specified, we will fill all 
 orders for Transmission Rope made 4

 LUBRICATION OF ROPES 
 
 WHEN ropes are used for transmission 
 of power, the lubrication of the fibres 
 is of great importance, for with the fibres 
 properly lubricated the rope, under the 
 same conditions, will outlast several ropes 
 which are allowed -to run dry. By some, 
 lubrication is considered of more impor- 
 tance than the actual breaking strength of 
 the rope. 
 
 The wear of a rope is both internal and 
 external. The internal wear is due to the 
 bending of the fibres and their sliding upon 
 one another, producing a grating together, 
 which action is very much increased when 
 the strands are not lubricated or when a 
 hard twist is given to the rope, thus pre- 
 venting the greater compression of the 
 fibres one upon another, which is so essen- 
 tial to the life of the rope . 
 
 Rope should not become dry or fuzzy. 
 More lubrication, i. e., dressing is required 
 where ropes are used out of doors. A rope 
 with the fibre properly lubricated will, 
 under the same conditions, outlast several 
 dry ropes. Manila fibre, while naturally 
 tough and strong, when dry is rough and 
 harsh, but when lubricated becomes smooth 
 and silky. 
 
 SLINGS 
 
 SLINGS for Cranes, Derricks or ships' 
 use, made with either long or short splice to

 NOTES ON USE AND CARE OF ROPE 
 
 DETERIORATION in rope is both me- 
 chanical and chemical, first, due to 
 surface wear or from friction between fibres, 
 secondly, from exposure to weather and 
 acids. Surface wear on ropes likewise fol- 
 lows where worked through blocks or where 
 sheave holes are too small for easy clearance 
 or where blocks become fouled, causing im- 
 proper alignment, the result of which is 
 chafing of the rope. 
 
 Ropes swell to some extent after being 
 wet. Blocks with large enough sheave 
 grooves should be used to take care of swell. 
 Unlike metal and other similar substances, 
 fibre rope has not a permanent elastic limit 
 in which it may be worked indefinitely with- 
 out injury. Owing to the tendency of the 
 fibres to slip one upon another, the rope 
 gradually loses its cohesion under the repe- 
 tition of very moderate tension, and may 
 be seriously weakened by constantly work- 
 ing. If fibre rope is subjected to a sudden 
 stress or even to a stress approaching that 
 of breaking its strength is permanently re- 
 duced, and it may be expected to give way 
 under a very moderate pull. Hence it is ad- 
 visable to allow for liberal factors of safety, 
 both as to working and breaking strains. 
 
 Internal friction between the fibres in- 
 creases to some extent when the rope is 
 worked over a sheave. This ultimately has 
 a tendency to break up the fibres, which 
 also suffer a loss of vitality through heat 
 caused by friction. The smaller the 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 diameter of sheave in this connection the 
 greater the friction. The use of sheaves of 
 the largest diameter permissible is advis- 
 able, likewise rope, as the ultimate results 
 will justify. 
 
 All rope should be kept clean and free 
 from sand, mud, or other matter containing 
 grit. Chemical deterioration from rotting, 
 or termed by some "dry rot," generally in- 
 creases through rope becoming water logged 
 and not given an opportunity to dry out in 
 the open air. Allow the rope to dry nat- 
 urally . Do not cover or prevent drainage as 
 it retards the drying out process. 
 
 When dragging rope over the ground it 
 weakens the rope, and dirt and grit is picked 
 up which grinds in when the rope is used 
 again. Unnecessary surface wear often 
 occurs with hoisting machinery by contact 
 against iron beams or the edges of pulley 
 blocks . In transmission the surface friction 
 rope against the sheave also wears it, but the 
 wear is inappreciable as compared with that 
 of a poor installation . 
 
 Be careful in storing your rope to prevent 
 contact with commercial acids which have 
 a particularly injurious effect on the fibre. 
 
 Always use the largest rope permissible as 
 the limit of safety on small rope is reached 
 quickly. Inspect ropes frequently and re- 
 place before the limit of safety is reached. 
 Loss of strength from heat or rotting is 
 difficult to note except following test of 
 fibre. Internal wear can only be judged 
 after careful inspection. Large ropes do 
 
 PAGE 203 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 not lose strength through rotting as quickly 
 as the small ones. 
 
 Extreme tension occurs frequently in 
 slings bending over sharp corners while un- 
 der load. This breaks the fibres on the 
 outer side while the sharp corners cut the 
 ones on the inner side. To secure the best 
 service from slings, sharp bends over un- 
 yielding surfaces must be avoided and the 
 load should be considerably less than the 
 tensile strength of the rope. 
 
 Running rope should never be allowed to 
 touch anything but the wheels or sheaves 
 upon which it works, neither should the 
 rope chafe against the side of grooves of the 
 wheels. Avoid vibration and slipping of 
 ropes so far as possible. 
 
 Be careful to have sheaves accurately bal- 
 anced and in perfect alignment, otherwise 
 rope is liable to jerk, chafe, and destroy 
 itself. 
 
 Manila, when dry, contains a small per 
 cent of moisture, but will absorb as much as 
 30 to 40 per cent in a damp atmosphere. 
 Moisture does not tend to promote decay. 
 In hot, dry weather an occasional wetting 
 of the rope will aid it. A freezing temper- 
 ature renders the fibres brittle. 
 
 Four strand rope will weigh from 5 to 7 
 per cent heavier than 3 strand rope of 
 medium lay. 
 
 Rope is known as Right Lay or Left Lay. 
 In Left Lay Rope all turns are reversed 
 from those of the ordinary Right Lay Rope, 
 the yarn being spun to the left. 
 
 PAGE 2O4 
 
WATERBURY CORDAGE 
 
 Small sizes of rope from */ inch to about 
 1/2 inch diameter is called Thread Rope (see 
 differential table) , though generally ordered 
 by size, i. e., diameter of circumference. 
 
 Lay of rope designated as Hard, Medium, 
 or Soft. The Soft Lay is generally used for 
 marine purposes, while the Hard Laid Rope 
 is used for Hammer Falls or where subjected 
 to considerable pressure. Medium Lay for 
 general uses. Buyers should state purpose 
 for which the rope is to be used. 
 
 Twisting of Hoisting Rope may be 
 lessened by soaking rope in water, then 
 allowing it to dry out thoroughly. 
 
 A common factor for hoisting load is 5 
 to 1 or one-fifth of the breaking strain, al- 
 though greater factors should be used ac- 
 cording to the hazardous nature of the work. 
 
 Rope should be kept in a dry room. 
 Before installation it would be well to keep 
 it in a warm, airy place so as to allow evap- 
 oration of any excessive moisture absorbed 
 during transportation. 
 
 Small sheaves waste power and increase 
 wear on ropes. 
 
 Rope is weakened in a sharp nip of any 
 kind, whether due to a splice, a bad lead, 
 a hitch or a bend around a pin or a post, 
 due to tension upon the layers of fibre from 
 the inside to outside bend, the outer layers 
 being subject to tension, while the inner 
 layers are compressed. As a result, the 
 outer layers wear, followed by others in 
 succession toward the inside. 
 
 KINKS Rope will break when kinked 
 under a very moderate pull or slight jerk.

 PRACTICAL RULES FOR ROPES, 
 BLOCKS, AND TACKLE* 
 
 1. To find the safe working load of a Manila Rope 
 of given size, square the circumference in inches and 
 divide by 7 for the load in tons. 
 
 2. To find the size of a rope for a given working 
 load, multiply the load in tons by 7 and take the 
 square root of the product for the circumference of the 
 rope in inches. 
 
 3. To find the size of a rope when rove as a tackle 
 to lift a given weight, add to the weight one-tenth of 
 its value for every sheave to be used in hoisting. This 
 gives the total resistance including friction; divide this 
 by the number of parts at the movable block for the 
 maximum tension on the fall. Reave the fall of a size 
 to stand this tension as a safe working load. 
 
 Example To lift 10 tons with a three-fold purchase, 
 the fall of which, coming from the upper block, is 
 taken through an extra sheave on deck for a fair lead. 
 Required: the size of the fall needed. 
 Total resistance, including friction, equals 
 
 10 + 7 X ~ = 17 tons 
 10 17 
 
 Maximum tension on fall equals - = 2.8 tons. 
 
 Size of fall, note 2, equals V 7 X 2.8 = 4.4 inches. 
 
 4. To find the weight which a given purchase will 
 lift with safety, find the safe working load for the rope 
 to be used. Note 1, multiply this by the number of 
 parts at the movable block. This gives the total resist- 
 ance including friction. Multiply the total resistance 
 by 10 and divide by 10 plus the number of sheaves used. 
 The result is the weight that may be lifted. 
 
 Example To find the weight which may be lifted 
 by a fall of 4^2-inch Manila rope as a three-fold pur- 
 chase, the fall of which leads from the upper block 
 through an extra leader on deck: 
 
 4 5 2 
 Safe working load '- = 2.9 tons. 
 
 Total resistance, including friction, 6X2.9 = 17.4 tons.
