Individual steel wires are twisted into strands and wound around a central core to produce heavy-duty industrial wire ropes. Plants, growing media and irrigation systems are combined into vertical living walls; precision bodies, bellows and film holders are assembled into large-format cameras; and rough gemstones are cut and polished to reveal their colour and pattern.
