The Bleichert System of Wire Rope Tramways: With Special Reference to the Patent Locked-Coil Track Cable and the Webber Patent Automatic Grip (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Explore the Bleichert system of wire rope tramways and its patented track cable and grip innovations.
This guide explains how stationary track cables support loads while a lighter traction rope moves them, delivering a practical, heavy‑duty solution for difficult terrain and long spans.
The book covers design, construction, and operation in real world settings, from mine faces to surface loading stations. You’ll see how high‑tension track cables reduce wear on car wheels, improve stability on steep grades, and enable reliable, mostly automatic handling of buckets and loads. Clear explanations illustrate the differences between endless rope and tail rope systems, including when each approach works best and what to expect in terms of cost and maintenance.- How the patent locked‑coil track cable and Webber compression grip contribute to safer, smoother transport
- Details on car, bucket, and grip interactions, plus automatic release at stations
- Practical examples of installations, performance on grades, and system adaptability
- Insights into planning lines, loads, tensions, and maintenance needs for mining or industrial use
