Table Mountain Rop~way.

The ropeway located at Table noun
tain. in South Africa, is an important
example of a line $3.50 feet long. 1t
consists of a single fixed rope, on
which one carriage is drawn to and
fro with an endless hauling rope. the
driving gear having reversing motion
SO Iii the direction of travel of the
carrier can be controlled. Commenc-
ing at sea level and following the
ground on posts spaced about 800 feet
apart. the cable takes a span of 1900
feet. rising to a projecting rock some
1,4S0 feet above the starting point.
Resting IN a support at this point. the
cable again takes a span of 1.4O0 feet
to an upper terminal 900 feet above
the lower one. This ropeway has work
ed so satisfactorily that it is not only
used for the carriage OF materials EN-
ployed in the construction Of a reser
voir, but is at times used for passen-
gers.-Engineering Magazine.
