A form of aerial ropeway in which the same rope is used both to support
and haul along the overturning skips in which the debris is carried. These
rest upon the rope and obtain a sufficient frictional grip on it to be
carried up moderate gradients and over pulleys by means of an inverted
Vee-shaped saddle lined with wood, rubber, or composition. The rope is
driven by a surge wheel in a similar manner to an endless-rope haulage.
See also: aerial ropeway;
fixed-clip monocable. Sinclair, 5
