Wade thinks that the precautions
needed to widen the margin of safety
will be taken. In his opinion the best
of these safeguards are double ropes.
"In the constant ascent and descent OF

strengthening of the ropes, which in
time causes crysialliZation, eventually
completely destroying the elasticity OF
the wire, at which stage the ropes may
part at any moment and without warn

taken in this matter is that the best
