Having now described a means of carrying my invention into effect, I wish it to be understood that I do not claim the machinery above described as my invention, although it was invented by me, because many other methods of arranging machinery for making wire ropes on the principle I have discovered may be invented. But I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by letters patent, first, forming each strand by winding wires spirally around a flexible core without twisting the wires, and forming the rope by the winding of such strands in the same manner around a similar core, the core of the strand being about equal in size to the wires, so that every wire in the spiral of each strand shall be laid equi-distant from the centre of such strand, and every strand equi-distant from the centre of the rope. Secondly, I claim a method of inserting a fresh wire or wires, or a fresh strand or strands, in laying the wires into the strand, or the strands into the rope, made as above, when six wires are used in making the strand, or six strands used in making the rope. - R. S. NEWALL.
