shown in fig2 can be used as a hoisting cable in mines or elevators and particularly in those applications where a high resistance to corrosion and a high resistance to fatigue are required the elongated rubberised cord of fig2 can be manufactured by a vulcanisation process which is illustrated in fig3 a mould comprising an under part 38 and an upper part 40 gives the element its round form a space 41 is provided as a passage for the rubber a space 42 should be provided between the under part 38 and the upper part 40 in order to avoid that the upper part 40 contacts the lower part 38 and to create the required pressure rubber is applied to the cord 10 under a pressure of at least 30 kg cm 2 at a temperature between 140 u00b0 and 160 u00b0 c a 7 u00d7 19 steel cord 10 according to the invention was built as follows cord twist angle 17 88 u00b0 i e lay length of 66 mm s lay the first space 28 of the core strand 12 amounts to 0 0259 mm and the second space 30 of the core strand amounts to 0 0706 mm the ratio d1 d2 is 1 222 the weight of the.
