Description: | This is a sample of wire rope made by Dixon, Corbitt and Company. The company was one of the most important rope makers in Gateshead, established in 1840. They made fibre ropes as well as wire ropes. This rope consists of six strands wound round a core. Each strand is made up of seven wires. The sides have been flattened slightly, so that the strands are not round, but triangular. This type of rope is therefore called 'flattened strand rope'.
