Complete Specification Accepted, 31st Dec., 1883
We, ARTHUR LATCH, of Biddick Hall, South Shields, Durham, Gentleman, and
TELFORD CLARENCE BATCHELOR of 8 Barons Court Road, West Kensington, Middlesex,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is improved method of making wire ropes, bands, or
strands.
For the purpose of our invention, we group two or more wires in level parallel
order and pass them through a bath of solder or other like bath, or in contact with
some metallically adhesive body for the attachment of the two or more parallelly
arranged wires constituting a strip composed of wires metallically associated.
These combined wires we treat as single wires and employ them in making wire
ropes, strands, or bands.
The wires so arranged in parallel order may be in single layers, double layers, or
otherwise, the wires not being twisted among themselves."
The attachment of wires may be continuous or at intervals of their length only.

TELFORD CLARENCE BATCHELOR, of 8 Baron's Court Road, West Kensington
Middlesex, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The object of this invention is an improved method of making wire ropes, bands or
strands.
For the purpose of our invention we group two or more wires in level parallel
order and pass them through a bath of solder or other like bath or in contact with
some metallically adhesive body for the attachment of the two or more parallelly
arranged wires constituting a strip composed of wires metallically associated.
These combined wires we treat as single wires and employ them for making wire
ropes, strands or bands.
The wires so arranged in parallel order may be in single layers double layers or
otherwise, the wires not being twisted among themselves.
The attachment of wires may be continuous or at intervals of their length only.
Wires metallically combined as above described are applicable as belts or straps for
motive power purposes and for machinery.
We are aware that two or more ordinary round wires have been passed through a
galvanizing bath but the wires have always been first twisted among themselves, and
the galvanizing has been effected after such twisting, such combination wires being
used as wire fencing, barhed, and other, and the object of galvanizing has been to
preserve the fencing from the deterioriating action of the atmosphere and not with
any intention of connecting the several wires in close adhesive contact which is the
special object of our invention without such wires being first twisted and their use
exclusively for the manufacture of wire ropes, bands or strands. the said parallelly
arranged and metallically connected wires retaining their parallel order along the
rope, strand, or band.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1. Combining parallelly arranged wires as strips and constituting single wires for
after use in the making of ropes, bands or strands as described.
2. Metallically connecting two or more wires at intervals or along their entire length
to enable them to be employed as single wires in the manufacture of wire ropes,
bands or strands substantially as set forth.
