ANDREW SMITH'S PATENT WIRE ROPE, FOR
STANDING RIGGING.
_

rlflHE notice of Shipowners, Shipmasters, and others, is
.L respectfully requested to the following testimonials of
the superiority of the above Rope over Hempen Cordage.

into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per
cwt. to 60s. per cwt., making it fully 30 per Cent. cheaper
than Hemp Rope.

" city of Dublin Steam-Packet Company,
" Office, 24, Water-street, Liverpool, April 21, 1841.
" GENTLEMEN,—In reply to your letter of this morning,
I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope
for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on board
.of this Company's new Steamer the Erin-yo-Brayh, and
which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of
its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging
,of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Oriental, and
Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when
first put on board those Steamers ; and, as regards the two
-first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the
Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. I
find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for
awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when well set up,
and does not give to the lashings.
" 1 am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" JAMES C. SHAW.

Agents for A. Smith's Patent Wire Ropes.'

" Liverpool, 15th May, 1811.
" GENTLEMEN,—At the request of the Patentee, Mr.
' Smith, I beg to state for his information, that the Patent
Wire Rigging fitted to the iron ship John Garrow, of 711
tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England
to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was
tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel-
lent condition ; so much so, that I do not consider it neces-
sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has
performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite

to do so.
" I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its
great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen Cordage,
being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the
latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have
experienbed, much more durable. The John Garrow's
Lower Rigging is only 34- inch Patent Wire Rope ; whereas,
had it been Hemp, 8} inch would have been required.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours truly,
_ _ "F. WILSON.
