No. 12405.—20th February, 1900.—STANLEY WAKEFIELD SHAW, of New Plymouth, New Zealand, Auctioneer (nominee of the Cyclone Woven-wire Fence Company, of Holly, Michigan, United States of America, the assignees of William Hewitt, of Trenton, New Jersey, United States of America, and John Lane and Cornelius Lane, of Holly, Michigan, aforesaid). An improved fence, and apparatus for constructing the same.*

Claims.—(1.) The improved manner of constructing metallic fences, consisting of a series of corrugated or spiral strips or rods or pieces of metal, and a series of wire cables, the strands of which respectively embrace and bind in each strip independently of every other strip, as specified. (2.) A wire fence constructed of two or more horizontal cables that are each composed of two or more wires twisted or stranded together, the strands of such cables engaging a series of metallic strips or pickets which are placed transversely across the said cables and are locked therein by the twisting or stranding of the cables, the strands being alternately twisted upon the pickets from left to right and right to left, substantially as set forth. (3.) A machine for twisting or stranding together the wires composing the longitudinal cables of wire fences, consisting of a frame on which are mounted, in suitable bearings, a number of twisting-wheels through which the wires are threaded, and that are all geared together so that they may be actuated simultaneously and at the same rate of speed, as set forth. (4.) A machine such as that claimed in claim 3, adapted to be carried upon the wires of the fence that is under construction, and provided with a guard-arm such as N, with a cross-piece such as C, through which two of the cables are threaded, such guard-arm serving to keep the machine always in an upright position, as specified. (5.) A machine for straining or stretching the wires used in the construction of wire fences, consisting of a frame mounted upon a suitable stand and provided with a supporting leg, such frame having mounted thereon a number of reels that are operated by a handle and which are provided with ratchets and pawls, all as and for the several purposes specified. (6.) In the manufacture of wire fencing, the combination with a number of twisting-wheels that are mounted upon a frame and are actuated simultaneously, of a number of straining-reels that are mounted upon another frame and provided with ratchets and pawls, the axes of the respective twisting-wheels and straining-reels being in the same horizontal planes, as and for the purposes set forth.
