Sir Samuel Brown had been thought
fully studying the construction o.
bridges, with the intention Of con-

walking in his garden, he observed Il
spiders net thrown across his path.
Stopping, he examined it carefully,
and the idea came to him that Il bridge
of iron ropes or chains might be fash
toned after the spiders net and
thrown across the Tweed. The final
result was the invention of the sus-
pension bridge.
