<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Question 10-20</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Barbed wire, first patented
in the United States in 1867, <BR>played an important part in
the development of American <BR>farming, as it enabled the
settlers to make effective fencing to <BR>enclose their land
and keep cattle away from their crops. This <BR>had a
considerable effect on cattle ranching, since the herds
no <BR>longer had unrestricted use of the plans for grazing,
and the <BR>fencing led to conflict between the farmers and the
cattle <BR>ranchers.<O:P> </O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Before barbed wire came into
general use, fencing was often <BR>made from serrated wire,
which was unsatisfactory because <BR>it broke easily when under
strain, and could snap in cold <BR>weather due to contraction.
The first practical machine for <BR>producing barbed wire was
invented in 1874 by an Illinois <BR>farmer, and between then
and the end of the century about <BR>400 types of barbed wire
were devised, of which only about a <BR>dozen were ever put to
practical use.<O:P> </O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Modern barbed wire is made
from mild steel high-tensile <BR>steel, or aluminum. Mild steel
and aluminum barbed wire <BR>have two strands twisted together
to form a cable which is <BR>stronger than single-strand wire
and less affected by temperature <BR>changes. Single-strand
wire, round or oval, is made from <BR>high-tensile steel with
the barbs crimped or welded on . The <BR>steel wires used are
galvanized - coated with zinc to make <BR>them rustproof. The
two wires that make up the line wire or <BR>cable are fed
separately into a machine at one end. They leave <BR>it at the
other end twisted-together and barbed. The wire to <BR>make the
barbs is fed into the machine from the sides and cut <BR>to
length by knives that cut diagonally through the wire
to <BR>produce a sharp point. This process continues
automatically, <BR>and the finished barbed wire is wound onto
reels, usually made <BR>of wire in length of 400 meters or in
weights of up to 50 <BR>kilograms.<O:P> </O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A variation of barbed wire
is also used for military <BR>purposes. It is formed into long
coils or entanglements called <BR>concertina wire.<O:P>
