Description: | This machine comes from the Teams Rope Works of Dixon, Corbitt and Company. It was used in the manufacture of wire ropes. The machine twisted steel wires into strands. Several strands were then combined and twisted again to make up the rope. The company was one of the biggest ropemakers in Gateshead from the mid 1800s onwards. They produced many types of wire and fibre rope.
