ANDREW SMITH'S PATENT WIRE ROPE,
FOR STANDING RIGGING, MINES, RAILWAYS,
BRIDGES, &c. &c.

EVERY day's experience proves the vast advantage this
Rope has over all others for the above purposes, from its
strength, durability, lightness, and great economy, the first
cost being about 25 per cent. cheaper than Hempen Rope.
Among the many practical and influential entlemen who
have certified its superiority and recom nded its adoption
may be mentioned the names of
Lieut. W. LORD, R.N
Lieut. R.. 1. FAIRER, R.N.
JAMES C. SHAW, Esq.,
JOHN GRANTHAM, Esq., e.E.,
of this town. The Testimonial of Mr. Shaw may be quoted .
" 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-go-Bragh, 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, d
Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when
two
to set the
years
first put on board those Steamers; and, as regards thethe
Shrouds Vessels, it has not been necessary
since.
Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two
find the Wire Rope answers admirably
for
well set up,
Ridge
awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when
Ropes for
and does not give to the lashings.
