STEEL WIRE FOR Distillers Corpo Sex-
BRIDGE CABLES
wire-drawing established Industry at Tintern in Elizabethan- times, it was not until 1854, when James Horfall discovered the effect of controlled rate of. cocling and invented the process that is still Lnown in the trade as "patenting," that told-drawn steel wire came into general use for ropes-first for ploughing the land and event- ually for the cables of the world's greatest bridges
wire.
The "patenting" process produces in the steel an exceedingly fine sorbitic structure of remarkable ductility that facilitates cold-draw- ing and thereby enables great tensile strength to be gained in association with the toughness that is characteristic of roping Nearly all steel wire that is now used in ropes and in bridge cables is cold-drawn with a num- ber of passes after some form of patenting process, and the effects of different combinations of the two stages of manufacture have been the subject of a great deal of experimental study. Results that appear superficially similar may be obtained in different
