thousand pounds. The outer end of
the strut is carried by guide rollers
on each side which run on the curved
track on the top of the flange of the
guide girders on the lower. The up
ward reaction is received by a pair of
friction rollers which are set on the
bearing of the main driving shaft and
engage the upper side of the lower
chord of the strut.
The driving pinion meshes into a
sectional cast-steel rack riveted in
side the lower chord of the strut and is
revolved in either direction by an in
dependent electric fifty-horse power
motor, to which it is geared with two
speeds so that the bridge may be OPP
Grated in thirty seconds or during high
wind in ninety seconds. Both the
pinion and rack are shrouded, and the
shrouds are finished and set to beat
together and preserve constant clear
ance between the teeth The rack seq
ments are made in six-foot lengths
riveted to the sides of the lower chord
and bolted to each other at the ends.
They have reinforcing webs and drain
age holes. The motor is arranged to
drive the operating pinions through
either of two sets of gear, giving full
speed for ordinary conditions and slow
speed for windy weather. The move
ment Of the draw is further regulated
by brake wheel with two friction
bands. Each span when closed is
locked by two latches. Each lath is a
solid horizontal bar, which engages a
cast-steel socket bolted to the floor
of beams of the draw. The latch is
mounted on four wheels rolling on an
abutment and is driven back and forth
by a pinion engaging gear teeth cut in
its upper surface. Each latch pinion
is keyed to the same continuous shaft
which extends nearly from end to end
of the abutment and is driven by a
worm gear from al independent five
horse power electric motor. The diam
eter of the shaft Is four inches in the
middle and three inches at the ends.
