An encyclopedia article on rope and cordage from the New International Encyclopedia (1922). It covers the early history of ropemaking, materials (hemp, manila, sisal, jute, flax, cotton), traditional ropewalk spinning and laying, and the later machine processes of scutching, drawing, spinning, forming and laying. It also covers special ropes such as well-drilling cables and tarred rope, and gives a table of rope strength by material, with references to Kent and Flather.
