The first steel ribs to support the roof and
side walls of the Rapid Transit Subway have
been put in place at Broadway and one-hun-
dred-and thirty y-ffth-st. A photograph Of the
steel for these supports, which was the first
shipment of steel for the tunnel was reproduced
in The Tribune on August q.
These ribs are to be placed at intervals of
five feet Each Of them weighs about one and
one-haIf tons which will give total weight of
sixteen hundred tons to the mile. for the sec
tions above One-hundred- and -fourth-st. where
the road VIII consist of only two tracks. The
special feature of this steel construction Is that
all the ribs between stations are interchange
able and may be used at any point on the route
Consequently much trouble will not be caused
by having a great number Of special parts. as is
generally the case in steel framed buildings.
Time will also be saved in this way. and the
work Of building will progress rapidly.
