- a single solid wire core of about one third the wire rope diameter, said core being comprised of a relatively ductile metal;
- and at least six outer strands surrounding said core each of said strands consisting of at least five wires of low ductile high strength iron or steel having resistance to abrasion, crushing and fatigue.
