To anyone writing about ropeways:-
I recently acquired a superb catalogue of the A.Leschen & Sons Rope Co.,
St.Louis - they had mfd. ropes and ropeways since 1857.
There are many p.graphs of the various systems, and these would be very
useful in demonstrating (pictorially), what 'system was what', and answers all the
questions about the various 'drives' that were being raised the last time this
matter came under discussion.
Regards, Bernard
