  CHAPTER I WIRE AND MODERN LIFE CHAPTER III THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE CHAPTER VI WORKING FOR UNCLE SAM CHAPTER VII A CITY BUILT OUT OF HAND “Seven one-thousandths, three one-thousandths, one one-thousandth—one record after another was passed. At last a wire was drawn that measured one four-thousandth of an inch in diameter—twelve times finer than the hair on your head. The spider, so long counted a master workman, had been outdone.” OUTSPINNING THE SPIDER THE STORY OF WIRE AND WIRE ROPE By John Kimberly Mumford PUBLISHED BY Robert L. Stillson Co.
