Home Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Lang Lay Ropes or Regular Lay?

Hey everyone. We have a job with 9 Units all the same machine and vintage. 5 have Right regular lay ropes 1/2" 8x19 and 4 have Lang Lay 1/2' 8x19. These are late 1970's Dover/Turnbull basement traction with 3E machines. None of the cars have the original cartop data tag stating which ropes are correct. The Sheaves are undercut U-Groove. Does anybody know which type are correct? or how I could find out?
