It has Leen but a littlo moro than six
years since this bridge vas commenced
and it Is now almost completed. Tins
has been quick work, oil things consid
ered, notwit (islanding the fact that
about 5.000 men have been constmtly
emiiloy*d upon it. It is not as nice to
look at os the Brooklyn bridge. Imt in
every way it is a g mi tor piece of me
chanism. In fact it is said to bo the
most wonderful piece of ungtawring
work in tlie world, llnd it Im-n built as
originally designed it would have Ucn
n striking affair. Kir Thomas IVmch,
the engineer of tlio great Tay bridge,
which went down in that fearful
December htnrni of 1*79, drew tlio plans.
It was in 1873 tint an act of parliament
was parsed authorising the building * f
tho bridge. Tlio original plan wlisto
have a suspension bridge. Tho central
towers were to havo been OCO feet high.
There would have been practically two
bridges, each carrying u set of rails and
held togeth* r by bnuor*. But when the
night tmiu pfunge«l from tho broken
Ta v hridgo u ith ninctr souls on board,
this plan for ths bridge received its
death blow. Tim three railroads inter
ested, th* Great No,them, Midland ami
Nortioistern, sought some other plan,
although work had already Ucnrtarte 1
Tho Rev, Jolin Fowler, K. U 11.. and Mr.
Benjamin I’aker, M. I. C. K«, Irmdon,
come forward with tho design for tho
cantilever bridge, which is now niuiobt
finished. Few |ioraotis outside of Uie
engineering fraternity know what a
cantilever is, altliou';lt they are coming
into use into Amrrkv. Hero is thu de
finition given 1 y an Krgtish engineer:
“A cantilever, or, to be more accurate,
a cantilever girder, is the aame applied
to a ginler luiving one siq p >rt otil\; tlio
part* o verb anting this on each shle U>
Imr lalsnced aud tlio wlioie suilicioiiUy
strong to carry itself and a load without
supports at cither end. And this it may
do witiiout being held down to the
p.'er, depemling on ft* weight, propor
tions a a! general design. It follows that
such a structure |niU no strain upon its
supports, whether one or more, other
than the vortical | ressuro duo to its own
weight and tlie load it cnrrii», aud tha
various nection* lieing braced it cannot
alter Its form, and |4irt* being in this
ro«pcct exactly therovvrao ot u su^fn-
■ion bridge.”
Tlie total space spanned I y the F*»rtli
