Class Codes & Rates:

Code 1924 is applied to insureds engaged in wire drawing or cable manufacturing from aluminum, copper or other non-ferrous metals. Reeled wire stock, received from outside sources, is fed into a primary wire drawing machine which draws the stock through dies to reduce it in size. Some wire may be heat-treated for softening so that it will withstand continual drawing. Secondary and final drawing machines with dies which are progressively smaller are used to reduce the wire to the desired fineness. The finished drawn wire is automatically wound onto reels for shipment or it may be further processed into cable as this classification also contemplates wire stranding and closing machines. Strands formed from the drawn wire are heliacally bent around a core at the entrance of a compression die, the finished cable being pulled through, measured by power driven drums and stored on shipping reels.
