Excerpt from Wire Ropes for Hoisting: Being a Compilation of All Matters Dealing With the Subject and Which Have Appeared in the Publications of the Following Technical Societies of South Africa: 1. The Transactions of the South African Association of Engineers, 1902-1911; Etc
In view of the continually increasing depths from which mining will have to be carried on in the immediate future on the Witwatersrand Gold Fields, and also on many other mining areas throughout the world, the question of winding ropes, and the conditions which they are now, and will be still more, required to meet becomes of paramount importance. The subject has been kept well in the forefront for many years, and much investigation and research have been devoted to it by South African engineers. The problems connected with the subject have been dealt with in numerous papers and discussions which have been recorded in the Transactions of the South African Association of Engineers, the Journal of the Transvaal Institute of Mechanical Engineers, and the' Proceedings of the South African Institution of Engineers, into which the two previously mentioned societies were merged in 1911. The Committee of the present Institution have now deemed it advisable to bring into a single book for easier reference these records.
