Rope Making  NEW   ERA  Pat 1911  Page 1 of 14

Cover  Page  Rope Making  with  New  Era.     The  New Era  was a
marked  improvement over   non geared  rope  makers,  and  also
the  prior  exposed  geared rope machines.

The  enclosed ring gear drive is less likely to get things tangled than
open gear rope machines like the  1901 Bucklin/ Thomas.  The New Era  is basically  a
a  3 to 1 gear ratio.    A real time saver on long ropes.
The  New Era machine  Patented by  A. D. Long  of Fairfield, Iowa was later
licenced to several differerent companies under various names, including
Hawkeye Manufacturing, Cedar Rapids, Iowa .  The Hawkeye also had
 listed  locations of  Minneapolis, Mn and Spooner, Wisconsin.

According to John Flory of New Jersey,  The Metters Rope Machine
manufactured in Australia appears to be identical,
as if cast from  New Era  original molds.

The original New Era patent diagram shows a machine with 4 outside hooks
and one center hook.  I have never seen a 5 hook New Era,  but  the Wonder
Rope Maker appears to be a larger,   heavier  version of the New Era.
