ROPE SUPERIOR TO LEATHER
Fibrous Material Rapidly Supplanting
Betting in American and Euro
pean Mills and Factories.

For 20 years there has been an in
creasing use in this country of manila
rope for power transmission in mills
and factories in place of leather belt
ing. In English factories ropes super
seeded betting long ago, and their use
is nearly universal. In the United
States the change that has taken place
began with the acquisition of the Phil
ippine islands, where, as everybody
knows. the manila hemp flourishes.
The fiber of this hep varies in length
from 6, to II feet, aud occasionally at
tains a length of Is feet. 1t is said
to possess greater tensile strength
than any other fiber known, exceed
ing $4,000 pounds per square inch.
Rope drives, as transmission ropes are
called, possess the advantage of Noise
lessness. owing to their fiexibility and
to the existence of an air passage in
the grooves between the rope and the
sheath.
