To meet these exacting service conditions, a good Stevedoring Rope must necessarily possess elasticity to withstand the sudden jerks and strains of cargo handling. It must be firm lay, offering extra resistance to abrasive wear, yet at the same time the rope must be sufficiently flexible to render rapidly and grip the drum. Sufficient lubrication, and of the proper kind, is highly essential if protection is to be afforded against internal friction and the consequent heat. Any of these conditions will quick- ly destroy a rope of less quality than Plymouth! Individual cargo handling requirements may vary, but Plymouth Stevedoring Rope will meet them all.
