Abstract

The blade rotor structure of an axial flow elastic fluid utilizing machine such as a turbine is divided into groups by a lashing wire structure. The lashing wires of adjacent groups are flexibly connected to each other by sleeves that are held in place without heating so that the sleeves can be used with electroplated blades without the problems associated with brazing.
