TWIST THAT MADE THE ROPE
In March Of Lab6r-savIno Invention
Rope-MakIng Machine Was
Last on List.

There is nothing more prosaic than
q rope, or that enters into q greater
number Of n>mely occupations; and
yet In the miIrch of labor-saving In
vention, rope-making machine was
one of the last on the list. So long,
indeed, did rope-making remain one
OF the manual arts that the name of
the place where the work was done
has become ingrained In popular
speech; and the rope factory, though
in no way meriting the appellation, is
still known in some quarters as the
''rope-walk"
Formerly It was considered fact
worthy Of note that the government
rope-walk at Boston could turn out
rope 1,020 feet long.
A young workman in a rope-walk
saw that the twist should be applied
to the rope instead OF the strands, II
machinery was to take the place of
the hand in rope-making, and he re-
allied tsme and fortune from the con-
ception. His opportunity came with
the proposition to grapple for the
broken ends Of the Atlantic submR-
rine cable In the sixties.
A rope fully 10000 feet long was re-
quired for the graphing, but the task
OF making one of this unheard-of
length could not be undertaken seri-
ously by any rope-maker then in the
business
At this juncture John Good came
forward with proposition to build
machinery from his own designs and
make q rope in one piece as long a.
was wanted.
The offer seemed bold one, but
Was accepted. The machinery was
built, the rope made, the break In
the cable found and repaired, and
telegraphic communication between
the old world and the new estab-
ushed.
