water-laid

Rope may be divided into three main classes, according to the manner in which the strands are laid: (1) Plain-laid rope, composed of three strands; (2) shroud-laid rope, composed of four or six strands with a core or heart running through the center: and (3) cable-laid rope, hawser-laid or water-laid, composed of three or four plain-laid ropes twisted together.

Three hawser-laid ropes, each of 120 fathoms, laid up together in the opposite direction to that of their own lay will form a "cable-laid" or "water-laid rope", 100 fathoms in length.

In a ravine about a quarter of a mile south of Cairn Point, Bootlegger Cove Clay extends from the beach to a level 126 feet above it (Miller and Dobrovolny, 1959, p. 39(; the horizontally bedded clay is overlain by hard, stony sand interpreted by the writers as water-laid "till."

With this fiber, we then formed a series of air-laid and water-laid handsheets varying the temperature of the forming or rewetting water, the forming substrate, and, because press-dry effectiveness has been shown to vary with sheet weight, the grammage.
