This images hows the production of wire by pulling it through a drawplate with holes of gradually reducing sizes. One might be curious as to why he is sitting in his socks on a bench suspended from the ceiling. Apparently the practice was to swing forward , grasp the wire with pliers , kick the swing backwards and use the inertia of the body weight to draw the wire. Clever ?
