Load Sensor
Battelle researchers developed a unique load sensor in the 1980s which, when attached to an operating dragline, transmitted load data to a remote receiver. Lowell Strope demonstrates how data from this experiment indicated that loads on wire ropes used in surface mining are much higher than previously thought.
