Excerpt from Aerial or Wire Rope Ways: Their Construction and Management
Some years ago the author wrote a book entitled Aerial or wire-rope Tramways, which is now out of print. Since the publication of that work the term tramway iused in relation to aerial lines has been found by manufacturers and others to be somewhat misleading, and these installations have become almost universally known as aerial or wire rope-ways. In consequence of this it has been deemed advisable in this new work to discard the term Tramway and substitute that of Rope Way in order to conform with the present terminology.
