The Engineer, August 1893.
“We have heard a good deal lately of the successful competition in this country of German wire manufacturers. I am gratified, therefore, to announce that English wire rope makers are still able to take continental orders, Messrs, Latch and Batchelor, of Hay Mills, Birmingham, have this week been advised by their agents in Lyons that they have secured an order for 350 tons of their patent wire rope, which is required to be made in nine lengths, and then spliced together. This forms a part of a new towage system on the river Rhone. In wire nails, however, the Germans are still competing sharply with the Midland metropolis, and are offering their goods at much under local prices.”
