In San Francisco, after the war, he obtained a patent on the cable car railway that still runs there.

* 1873 – The Clay Street Hill Railroad begins operating the first cable car in San Francisco's famous cable car system.

The Broadway Surface Railroad's Broadway Line, a cable car line, opened on lower Broadway ( below Times Square ) in 1893, and soon became the core of the Metropolitan Street Railway, with two cable branches: the Broadway and Lexington Avenue Line and Broadway and Columbus Avenue Line.

A cable car or cable railway is a mass transit system using rail cars that are hauled by a continuously moving cable running at a constant speed.

Though there may have been earlier attempts to pull cars by endless ropes, the first cable car installation in operation was the West Side and Yonkers Patent Railway in New York City, which ran from 1 July 1868 to 1870.

Other cable cars to use grips were those of the Clay Street Hill Railroad, which later became part of the San Francisco cable car system.

The success of these grips ensured that this line became the model for other cable car transit systems, and this model is often known as the Hallidie Cable Car.

For Dunedin, George Smith Duncan further developed the Hallidie model, introducing the pull curve and the slot brake ; the former was a way to pull cars through a curve, since Dunedin's curves were too sharp to allow coasting, while the latter forced a wedge down into the cable slot to stop the car.

For example, the Chicago City Railway, also designed by Eppelsheimer, opened in Chicago in 1882 and went on to become the largest and most profitable cable car system.

The vessel is attached to the anchor by the rode, which is made of chain, cable, rope, or a combination of these.

The depth of water is necessary for determining scope, which is the ratio of length of cable to the depth measured from the highest point ( usually the anchor roller or bow chock ) to the seabed.

For example, if the water is 25 ft ( 8 m ) deep, and the anchor roller is 3 ft ( 1 m ) above the water, the scope is the ratio between the amount of cable let out and 28 ft ( 9 m ).

A cable or rode is the rope, chain, or combination thereof used to connect the anchor to the vessel.

Then, taking in on the first cable as the boat is motored into the wind and letting slack while drifting back, a second anchor is set approximately a half-scope away from the first on a line perpendicular to the wind.

After this second anchor is set, the scope on the first is taken up until the vessel is lying between the two anchors and the load is taken equally on each cable.

One method of accomplishing this moor is to set a bow anchor normally, then drop back to the limit of the bow cable ( or to double the desired scope, e. g. 8: 1 if the eventual scope should be 4: 1, 10: 1 if the eventual scope should be 5: 1, etc.

One of the primary characteristics of this technique is the use of a swivel as follows: the first anchor is set normally, and the vessel drops back to the limit of anchor cable.

A second anchor is attached to the end of the anchor cable, and is dropped and set.

A swivel is attached to the middle of the anchor cable, and the vessel connected to that.

As the vessel gathers sternway the strain on the cable pivots the vessel around what is now the weather quarter turning the vessel onto the other tack.

However, in a cable-stayed bridge, less cable is required and the towers holding the cables are proportionately shorter.
