Excerpt from Transporter Bridges Five years later, an elaborate plan for a transporter bridge over the Thames, was prepared by L. Mills and A. Twyman of North Shields, with a center opening 200 feet in Width and 80 feet high. The upper platform, reached by elevators in the towers, was to have provision for pedestrian travel, so that foot passengers could cross at all times. As transporter bridges are especially suitable for crossing harbor entrances at the sea coast, the type had for many years been advocated for the water courses at New York, and in 1885, 1\/ir. John F. Anderson published a design, Fig. 1, for crossing the Hudson by means of a moving platform suspended from a high level track, supported on pairs of cylinder piers. The platform was to be long enough to always be in contact with three sets of piers, thereby insuring lateral stability. In other respects the design was quite similar to those previously prepared by Harvey Leach and H. N. Houghton, and to Haege's plan for a rolling railway bridge.' Two years previous to this Mr. Gustav Lindenthal had been granted an American patent on a transporter bridge with a traveling suspended car. During the year 1894, two important passenger cableways were erected, one near Knoxville, Tennessee, and the other at Brighton Dyke, England, the car on the former one moving on a cable with steep incline. The cableway crossing Devil's Dyke at Brighton, designed by W. J. Brewer, had a clear center span of 650 feet, the type being selected because conditions would not permit the expense of a regular bridge. -an upper unstiffened cable over the towers, with a sag of only 26 feet, supports all the load, and two lower horizontal cables suspended therefrom by one-inch steel bars, carry the trolley at a height of 230 feet above the valley at the deepest part. The car is only 5 by 7 feet, to hold from eight to twelve passengers, and it is hauled back and forth by a smaller rope, making the passage in 2% minutes. After its completion, 720 people were taken across and back in 2% hours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This volume of original and historic photographs captures the story of the ingenious bridges that carried us from the Victorian era into modern times. With their moveable platforms designed to traverse busy waterways, Transporter Bridges served a brief but vital need from the late 19th century into the early 20th. Though many were planned, the huge increase in road transport quickly rendered them obsolete. In the end, fewer than thirty were ever completed across the world, with only nine still standing in their original form. But the transporter bridge appears to be entering a renaissance. In France and Argentina, restoration efforts are bringing life back to some of the original bridges. Meanwhile, proposals exist for three new bridges across France—at Nantes, Marseille and Brest—to replace some of those lost during and after the Second World War. This illustrated history captures the beauty of transporter bridges through hundreds of color photographs. The author combines his own modern images with many historic photographs and postcards chronicling the construction and operation of these unusual structures.

Excerpt from American Railroad Bridges The existing and the accepted types of bridges in use to-day on American railroads being the results of a true evolution, no attempt to present them intelligently would be complete without a brief sketch of the past history of bridge; in America. The rapid development of the new world and the enormous number of bridges that has been built within the limits of the nineteenth century, have furnished us with a wide experience, from which we have been able to select the good and reject much that was bad or undesirable. The pioneer life, not only of the earlier settlers, but of each genera tion to the present day, has developed to a high degree the energies, ingenuity and self-reliance of the American people. These pioneers were compelled to be men of all trades. Their limited resources and the lack of time or opportunity to seek for past precedents, impelled them to solve each problem anew. They, thought with vigor and were not fettered with the trammels of science, before they were capable of ex erting their mental faculties to advantage, as Sir Joseph Banks wrote to Thomas Paine in 1788.[from transactions or american society or CIVIL engineers.

Excerpt from Report on the Renewal of Niagara Suspension Bridge, 1880 In spite of its success, however, it has been an object of constant solicitude to the traveling public. The frightful chasm that it spans would naturally excite the fears of most people, but this has been greatly enhanced by doubts as to the condition of the cables and their anchorage. The object of this Report is to show What the real condition of the cables and anchorage was, and also to indicate what has been done for their improvem ent, as well as that of other parts of the bridge. In order to explain this clearly, it is necessary to insert here the following general description of the structure as it was.

Excerpt from Long-Span Railway Bridges: Comprising Investigations of the Comparative The portion of the following work treating on Long span Railway Bridges, was first published some seven years ago, so but little introduction will now be re quired. As stated in the Preface to the First Edition, on proceeding with the investigation, it was at once seen that a strictly mathematical treatment of the subject would entail lengthy and involved formulae, and absorb far greater space than was available for the purpose. Accordingly, the various hypotheses, which it is absolutely necessary to make in an inquiry of this nature, are framed as comprehensively as pos sible; and in many instances the result of a careful balancing of probabilities is given without exhibiting the process by which it has been evolved. In short, elimination, and not elaboration, has been the aim throughout. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
