THE BIG BRIDGE.
An Interesting Chat With Mr.. @. F. Dick
inson,

An Interesting Chat With Mr.. @. f. Dick
inson.
A REGISTER reporter yesterday while
strolling over the handsome new struc-
ture Of the Wheeling Bridge Company,
encountered in his rambles, Mr.. c. +.
Dickinson, representing the Kenwood
Bridge Company, of Chicago, who was
also taking a constitutional. After an
exchange OF courtesies, the conversation
naturally drifted upon the beauty and
grandeur OF such engineering feats, and
how incomprehenslble such structures
are to the general public from mathe-
NAUTICAL point of view.
''Of course there are q great many
pieces in a big bridge like this" said
Mr.. Dickinson, almost innumerable;
yet they are so well planned and adjust
ed that every piece has its place, and
the strength Of one piece hinges upon
the strength OF another. No doubt the
ordinary observer would wonder why
so many apparently worthless beams
and trusses were used in some places,
especially under the track across the
viaduct. II looks like waste OF iron
to some, bat every piece has q duty to
perform, and the removal Of the merest
section might disrupt the entire affair"
is it necessary to make model Of
every piece before building it at the
factory" asked the reporter.
Dyes, in order to ensure accuracy"
said Mr.. Dickinson, this must be done.
Before any steps are taken toward
building the various sections OF the
bridge, plans have to be drawn; the plans
are then taken TO the carpenters depart
ment, where wood models of the exact
size and shape of every piece are made,
and every piece OF steel is made accord
ingly. After the sections are all built,
the bridge is practically put together in
the factory yard before being shipped.
10 ensure perfect conformity. The
pieces are then numbered and forward
ed.
.'How long would 1t take factory to
turn out the material for such bridge
as this?' asked the reporter.
THAT depends good deal what fac
tory Is engaged In the work. The
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-10-27

largest bridge works Ia the country
would likely turn out this bridge In
about "a days, as they have capacity
of so tons day, and l understand this
bridge contains somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 100 tons, including viaduct.
Perhaps you will notice that throughout
the bridge there are few solid, cumbru-
Gus pieces. It is nearly all Of light
pieces formed of angles, and whore
more strength Is required, these are
formed into columns by being latticed
together. One reason for this II
that it renders all parts of the steel ac
cessible, and they can easily be painted,
thereby greatly preserving the metal.
1t is well-known fact that steel COM
mences to rot in the centre, and works
outward, and where great massive grid
ers are used, much danger is liable TO
result. One of the largest top cords
seen in iron bridges is that used on the
Market street bridge across the creek.
Judge it is nearly foot in diameter.
Outside of utility and the factor OF
safety, the various small sections woven
together give such large structure
pretty and picturesque effect, as you
will see by viewing this bridge from
distance. Strange as it may seem
in large bridge like this
the tension members grow
lighter as they approach the center,
while the compression Of the top and
lower cords Is the heaviest at the center,
and grows lighter as it reaches the
span. The usual cost OF putting up the
bridge after the material arrives on the
ground is from one and quarter to one
and half cents a pound"
What is the range of expansion In
bridge like this?" asked the reporter.
1T does surprise one to think that
such an immense structure would be az
fected by the heat and cold. But II
does more or less, yet barely percepti-
BILE. In the fercest heat of summer,
have no doubt, this bridge will expand
to the extent Of one and half, and pos
Sibly two inches, but this is amply pro-
vided for, as in all such structures, by
expansion rollers under the inclined end
posts at the top Of the pier"
81 have understood" said Mr.. Dick
inson, that Mr. Frank C. Osborn, OF
Cleveland, will be here shortly TO In
Spect the bridge, although he Is not
fully determined whether his engage
ments will permit. Mr.. Osborn is
young man, scarcely tairty- four years
of age, yet he is thoroughly versed in
all the scientific details of bridge build
ing; in a word, he is master Of the situa-
tion."
Mr.. Dickinson is at present superin-
tending the steel work construction at
the county Jail.

"a GOOD JUDGE, TOO"

A country judge in Hungary gave
a decision few days ago of which
Solomon himself might be proud.
Members of the Nazarene sect in the
town of Gyoma requested His Honor
to be allowed to cruelty one of their
number who was a Messiah, and
and had been called by heaven to
save men," The judge for a mo-
ment was dumbfounded "Friends, :"
he replied after recovering his senses,
II do not wish to interfere with
your religious practices. If your
Messiah wishes to be crcihed, let
him prepare himself for death. Re-
member however that if he does not
raise again in three days, shall cause
every one of yon to be hanged" The
Nazarenes, it is needless to add al
lowed their chief to live.
