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. This sample is from a crane rope. It consists of six strands wound round a core. Each strand is made up of 19 wires. Because the wires are so thin, the whole rope is not very thick, despite its strength.
