course, be an increased tendency to blow the
liver bed up into the water. 1t was decided,
therefore, not to attempt to keep the water
out of the bottom, but to take care of some
of it by pumping. That which came in was
blown by air pressure backward through the
bulkhead and carried to the shaft, where 1t
was forced by ordinary pumps, pumping to
the top and discharging into the river.
CAISSON LOCK SYSTEM.
There were three locks, two main ones Of
large size IN the bottom as already de-
scribed, through which the work .nen entered
and left the working chamber, and through
which the eXcavdted material and the build
ing materials were passed out and in (and
these were moved by small cars on a little
railroad track, and there was a smaller lock
in the top connecting with the shield by an
elevated passageway which could be used by
the workmen for escape should a blowout
into the river cause an thrush of water and
a filling up of the lower part of the working
chamber. The excellent care taken of the
men who worked under this great pressure
prevented any loss of life, and there were
only a few serious cases of permanent dlsa-
bility.
The danger to men working in compressed
air in deep foundations under water Is in
coming out of the air chamber, not In enter
