Abstract: A rope-operated device includes a wire rope and an arrangement for guiding the wire rope. The wire rope itself is a stranded rope having a core strand which is a parallel lay strand. The core strand and the side strands are each composed of 19 wires stranded as Warrington type strands. A silicon lubricant is used for lubricating the wire rope and the arrangement for guiding the wire rope.

Abstract: A rope comprising a plurality of wires (2, 3, 4) made of a steel wire being twisted together; at least the wires which are arranged in such a manner as to be disposed on an outer surface of the rope (1) being made of a plated steel wire wherein a corrosion resistance is superior; at least said wires which are located in a center of the rope not being made of the wire wherein the corrosion resistance is superior.

Abstract: Temperature stable crystalline mono-hydrochloric and sulfuric acid addition salts of 7-amino-3-(1-methylpyrrolidinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate substantially free of .DELTA..sup.2 isomer are intermediates for the preparation of broad spectrum 7-[.alpha.-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-.alpha.-(Z)-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[(1- methyl-1-pyrrolidinio)methyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylates.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a conventional amino-protecting group, R.sup.2 is a straight or branched chain alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and ##STR2## is a quaternary ammonio group as described herein, and nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts, physiologically hydrolyzable esters and solvates thereof, as well as processes for their preparation, are disclosed. The compounds in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen are potent antibacterial agents.
