of the Washington Society of Engineers

bridges and giving the history of that kind
of bridge construction Prof. Jacoby took
up the plans of the Quebec bridge and
outlined the history of the construction
up to the time Of the disaster. All de-
tails in connection with the work were
carefully worked out beforehand. he said,
even to the methods of erection and the
appliances to be used in each case. This
was necessary because Of the unprece-
dented magnitude of the work.
Several pictures showing the progress of
the erection were followed by those of
the wrecked structure from various points
of view. Account was given of the EVIL
denceS of weakness In several compress
sion meambers during the three weeks
preceding the collapse, and Of the acct
dents that had befallen one Of the men,
bers in the anchor arm. The bridge ap-
parently gave way, 1T was stated, by the
lateral bending of two compression
chords in-the anchor arm near the main
pier. 1t was shown that the various
causes which have frequently caused pre-
vious accidents of lesser magnitude were
not involved in this case.
