The John A. Roebling’s Sons Company has occupied a prominent place in the history of wiremaking in the United States. In 1905, the Roeblings began a new phase of expansion with the construction of the Kinkora Works near Florence Township in New Jersey. This paper focuses primarily on a technological history of the processes and products manufactured at the Kinkora Works and examines the system the Roeblings built around the technology of wire rope and its evolution.
