Greater wearing surface, therefore longer life of rope and less wear upon pulleys. 2. Greater strength, thereby admitting of smaller ropes being used for existing loads, or of increased loads without increase in size of rope. 8. Spliced easily and more effectively. 4. Less tendency to twist and stretch in working. Fig. 13a for Sinking and Fig. 11b for Cranes, &c., are non-twisting. Pig. 11b. CRANE, Ac IT WILL. PAY to overhaul your Elect- rical Plant periodically, laying out Armature and-Field Coils, and, after cleaning off dirt and grease with a cloth wet with benzine, to give them a Fresh Coat of Varnish. This will Strengthen Weak Spots which may be de- veloping in the insulation, and thus ward off a Possible Breakdown. The Varnish essentially suitable for this is “INSULAC INSULATING COMPOUND.” FOR PRICES, WRITE: CHAS. H. BLUME, The White Building, Sheffield. Pig. ISA. WINDING. Locked Coil Ropes.
