The Royal
Rope Machine, from the collection of Leonard Grubbs,
Rope Maker
of Arkansas
The Royal
Rope Machine
is
simplfied based New Era Machine by Arthur D. Long, who
originally
patented the New Era in 1911
I believe
that this to be a vary rare machine.
The base
that is shown in the sketch on bottom appears missing
from the
two different machines that I have pictures.
