the inventor is the almost absolute rigidity OF
the structure, thus overcoming the great obs
lection TO suspension bridges for railway pur-.
poses. This is obtained by two pairs Of
chains, or ropes, which cross one another in
the centre of the bridge. The ends Of one
pair of these suspenders, on alternate sides,
being fastened to the top and the others At
the base of the towers Of the bridge. From
these man portions, the rods which sustain
the roadway are connected alternately and
placed at such an angle that the heaviest
load at one end of the bridge can make oata
very slight change in its curve, or cause thai
vibratory motion SO dangerous to suspension
bridges. The main wires crossing each 9th
or make the whole 90 stiff, literally, that,
without any additional stays or braces, the
heaviest gale Of wind cannot cause It TO sway
from side to side.
