Abstract
The modulus of stretch af a fibrous rope is reduced by impregnating a pluity of spaced-apart segments of the rope with an epoxy plastic thereby to reduce the modulus of stretch of the segment equal to zero after curing the plastic. The overall modulus of stretch of a re-manufactured rope taken as a whole is proportional to the ratio of the length of an impregnated segment relative to a unit length of the rope.
