   • 1816, George Gregory, A Dictionary of Arts and Sciences [1]

     The aim of the rope-maker is to unite the strings of a great number of fibres... This is done by twisting or twining them together... When the fibres are so disposed in a long skain, that their ends succeed each other along its length, without many of them meeting in one place; and this skain is twisted round... the friction on a fibre which we attempt to pull out may be more than its cohesion can overcome... Consequently, if we pull at this twisted skain, we shall not separate it by drawing one parcel out from among the rest, but the whole fibres will break; and if the distribution of the fibres has been a very equable, the skain will be nearly of the same strength in every part.
