THE MARINE REVIEW Successfully meets every dredging requirement WATERBURY ARMORED ROPE (Gore Patent, March 14, 1911) Represents the first real improvement in wire rope construction in many years. This improvement consists of winding each strand with flat drawn wire having convex edges, especially tempered to take the wear and protect the tensile strength wires against abrasion and damage due to exposure. It is an ideal rope for Dredge work, and a rope you should know about. Write to our nearest office fer prices and full par- ticulars.
