. Material handling cyclopedia; a reference book covering definitions, descriptions, illustrations and methods of use of material handling machines employed in industry . Locked-Wire Track Cable of a greater number of wires than is used inthe locked-coil cable and it therefore is more outside layers are formed of interlocking sectionswhich give a very smooth bearing surface. This typeof construction also minimizes vibration under stress and reduces the tendency of the individual wires to crystallizeand break. There being no interstices between the wires, agreater amount of metal is used in a given diameter andthus a maximum strength is obtained. Due to its compactconstruction, the locked design offers great resistance tothe crushing tendency of the loads passing over it. This type of rope cannot be spliced like ordinary wirerope and any joints required must be made with couplings. Locked-Coil Track Cable of sufficiently small diameter to allow the cableway car-riers to pass over them. Flat Rope Flat rope is used chiefly for hoisting purposes, beingespecially desirable when a large and long rope is re-quired for hoisting heavy loads out of deep shafts, as itdoes not spin or twist. It is also used for operating spoutson coal or ore docks and other similar purposes. It ismade up of a number of round wire ropes of alternateright and left lay, placed side by side and then sewed to-gether with soft iron or steel wire thus forming a com-plete flat rope. The sewing wires are much softer thanthe steel wires composing the strands of the round ropes,and act as a cushion for the strands. This causes themto wear out much faster than the harder wires composing 16 Ropes—4 7-Wire Strands, 1 Hemp Core per Rope
