ropeway

Prior to the establishment of this ropeway the logs were sent down a circuitous mountain track on bullock carts.

We have already noticed that it differs from the ropeway in that it has to hoist and discharge its burdens as well as convey them.

The Chilkoot ropeway has at least two spans of over 1,500 feet.

An aerial steel ropeway from the river bank to the town greatly facilitates the delivery of cargo.

In more modern days, an old engraving shows a single ropeway in working order in 1644 in the city of Danzig.
