FRONT vIEw-wITH BEAM INCLINED.
al security was thought desirable sys-
tenn of wire rope cables, extending from
one globe TO the other, inside the beam,
could easily be arranged to keep their
vertical axes in absolute parallellsm
with the vertical axis of the tower.
The beam would probably be moved by
two rows of hydraulic cylinders. in
side and near the top of the tower, their
pistons either pulling by means of wire
ropes upon a drum mounted upon the
axis of the beam, or by racks upon
their pistons meshing into spur gears
upon the same. The machinery re-
quired would thus be very much more
simple than in the three systems OF
elevators used in the Eiffel tower, and
the motion of the beam would be en-
tirely controlled by one or two valves
in a water pipe running from the
ground up to the cylinders. 1t could be
made to work automatically, so as to
prevent any undue speed being at
tanned by the beam. If il was thought
best to make the tower and statue only
the permanent part of the structure,
the beam could be so designed as to be
taken down at proper interval after
the close of the exposition and sold, &c
be put together again as pair OF
bridge trusses in some appropriate stu
alton, where they would make bridge
of beautiful design.
