Record 3 2000-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chains and Cables (Mechanical Components)
CONT

... attaching commercial sockets of forged steel to wire rope ends... The wire rope is seized at the end and another seizing is applied at a distance from the end equal to the length of the basket of the socket... For large ropes, the seizing should be several inches long. The end seizing is now removed and the strands are separated so that the fiber core can be cut back to the next siezing. The individual wires are then untwisted and "broomed out" and for the distance they are to be inserted in the socket are carefully cleaned with benzine, naphtha, or unleaded gasoline.

CONT

There are three types of zinced endings: A cone is formed from molten zinc poured into a mold in which a frayed rope end has been inserted; sometimes a ferrule is used as mold and stays on after pouring the zinc; or sockets are used instead of the ferrule. An open socket has ears to hold a pin and cotter. A closed socket has a loop or "bail." Both are heavy forgings and find widespread use. All three zinced on endings need a good deal of preparation. The rope’s end must be broomed out, cleaned with acid and straightened. Special endings: such as thimbles, clips, and clamps are quicker and easier to apply than a zinc socket, but efficiency is not as high as with other attachments.

  • Baskets and Basketmaking
CONT

... the sides of [the flower basket] are 10 cm(4 in.) high plus the rope handle.... Although this basket is only 5 cm(2 in.) higher than the tray, it flows out more which means that the border stakes will be wider apart and the border will therefore need more cane.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baskets and Basketmaking
CONT

Flower basket. Using the same base... the sides of this basket are 10 cm(4 in) high plus the rope handle. Make an oval base... Cut 31 stakes 48 cm(19 in) long...(3. 35 mm) cane. Although this basket is only 5 cm(2 in) higher than the tray, it flows out more which means that the border stakes will be wider apart and the border will therefore need more cane.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vannerie
CONT

La corbeille à fleurs. Utilisez le même fond que pour le plateau. La hauteur des côtés est de 10 cm. S'ajoute à cela l'anse. Faites un fond ovale [...] Coupez 31 montants longs de 48 cm dans du rotin de 3,25 mm. Bien que la hauteur de la corbeille soit supérieure de 5 cm à celle du plateau, elle est plus évasée; en d'autre termes, les montants de la bordure sont plus écartés et il vous faudra une plus grande quantité de rotin pour tresser cette dernière.
