This book, first published over a century ago, provides an introduction to aerial or wire rope ways, examining the two principal systems of the time, the running or endless rope system, and the fixed carrying-rope system. The system types, advantages, and disadvantages of each are discussed by the author, in addition to the details of construction, including posts or standards, wire ropes or lines, carrier boxes or saddles for the running-rope system, and carrier trucks, runners, or saddles for the fixed carrying-rope system. The book also delves into friction grips or couplings, knots or carrier collars for locking grips or couplings, pawl locking grips or couplings, claw locking grips or couplings, carrier receptacles or vehicles, and motive power. A valuable historical resource for anyone interested in aerial or wire rope ways, this book offers detailed insights into the design, construction, and operation of these systems, making it an essential read for engineers, architects, and historians alike.
