Abstract:
1. A method of providing a hybrid cord with predetermined twist and component ply lengths comprising the steps of (i) identifying the desired cord twist multiplier and component ply lengths, (ii) identifying the number of component plies and the composition of each ply, (iii) providing a cabling machine, (iv) selecting appropriate size pulleys for the regulator of the cabling machine such that the pulleys on a first side are larger than the pulleys on a second side so as to provide the desired component ply length in the cord, (v) setting the desired twist level for the hybrid cord into the cabling machine, (vi) feeding the plies into the cabling machine, and (vii) producing a cabled cord having the desired twist multiplier and component ply lengths.
