THEMA	Beschreibung
TEXT	These works are the property of Messrs. Cocker Brothers, who, as manufacturers of crucible-steel wire since 1752, confine themselves now to the highest classes of wire, of which the following four descriptions are made:?first, for lace needles and stocking-loom needles; second, for hand-sewing and sewing-machine needles; third, for watch and clock parts; fourth, for all kinds of spiral-coil springs. From the last is made every kind of spiral springs suitable for colliery and engineering purposes; a colliery-cage bumper-spring has been tested at local collieries with excellent results. All kinds of drawbar and valve springs are also made; and Ramsbottom piston-rings for steam-hammers and small locomotives. A special wire for making small pinions is also drawn in sizes varying from half an inch down to one-sixteenth of an inch diameter. It is deeply grooved, so as to form from six to twelve ribs or leaves upon it; and when it is cut up into short lengths, the leaves form the teeth of the pinions.
