Aerial tramways as now con-
structed are of comparatively modern
origin, dating from 1884, when the
German engineer, Oberbergrath,
Albrert, invented and introduced
the tramway practically as we now
know 1t. Yet it is more than
pos 'ible that Albert knew of the
ancient appliances for similar pur.
poses and that he but improved upon
an idea received from the reading of
some old book on engineering.
1t Is certain that the aerial tram.
way was used In very ancient times
and here and there in old writings a
hint or suggestion Is to be found
bearing out this statement. That the
tramway was used over $50 years ago
is made certain by the illustration
given herewith and for which we
are indbted to Messrs. Broderick Il
Bascom, the manufacturers of wire
rope tramways. This tramway as
built by Adam Wybe, for delivering
dirt, from q hill, over the town moat
of Dantzi to the fortress, In l644.
This illustration is taken from a wood
cut in an old German chronicle.
This may be taken as another
example Of the truth of the saying by
the old Hebrew philosopher that
there is "nothing new under the
sun. '" Many text books on en-
RineerinR ascribe the design of
aerial tramways and wire rope to the
early part OF last century. We now
know that these tramways were used
centuries ago aud that long piece
OF wire rope was found in the ruins of
Pompeii.
