An encyclopedia article from The Americana (1903) describing the cordage industry. It covers the fibres used for rope (manila, sisal, hemp, jute), their preparation, and how they are drawn, spun into yarn and tarred. It then explains how yarn is formed into strands and laid into rope and cables by machine and on the ropewalk.
