This paper summarizes the results of tensile tests of 368 specimens of manila rope. Most of the material was submitted on purchase orders for Government departments. They were all 3-strand, regular lay manila rope having diameters from 1/2 inch to 41/2 inches. A summary of the results is given in tables and graphically. A formula is given for determining the average breaking load as a function of the diameter of the rope. The test results cover sufficient range and show such consistency that it is believed that the formulas may be used safely for 3-strand, regular lay manila rope of the sizes indicated. The ropes showed a continually varrying modulus of elasticity and no well-defined proportional limit.
Excerpt from Results of Some Compression Tests of Structural Steel Angles The angles with square ends, having no bolts, were mounted directly between the base and the straining head of the testing machine. In order to test the bolted Specimens, special fixtures Of structural material were bolted to the base and Str'aining head 'of the machine and the Specimens bolted to these, as Shown in Figure 2, a y1ew of the Connection used for two bolts in one leg of the angle. A Specimen with ends folded 15 shown in Fig. 3. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
