Abstract

538,179. Tension indicators. WHITE, H. T. July 12, 1940, No. 11663. Convention date, Jan. 5, 1940. [Class 106 (ii)] Comprises a base, a pair of bridges on the base, means for securing a section of rope on the bridge and means for producing a tonal pitch corresponding to the tone produced by the section of rope when vibrated. The base 5 which is made of cast aluminium or other material and may be made hollow to amplify tone is provided with two bridges 8, 9 having concave seats to receive the section of wire rope 12 to be tested. The apparatus is anchored to the rope and the latter pressed on to the bridges by clamping nuts 13, 14 threaded on bolts 15, 16 fixed to the base. Parallel with the rope is a standard tension wire 7 anchored at 21 and passing over bridges 22, 25 to a tensioning key 26. A number of frets 30 are provided underneath the tuning wire. In use the wire rope is vibrated and the fingers passed up and down the wire 7 pressing it on to the frets until one is found where the wire is in tune with the vibration of the rope.
