REPIaACFEG A PIN.
Delicate Piece of Work in the wsa-
 liamsburg BradgA
(Engineerfne Newp. }.


 The rather sensational performance of taking out a, 10-inch bridge pin and putting a. 13-inch pin in its place, as done recently on the W1llian1sburE bridge in New York city, Is a piece of engineering requiring extreme skin and special apparatus
 A special drilling or boring machine. designed by the department of bridges and the contractor was attached to the bottom chord -wfeh its cutting ar bor in the line of the pin. The arhor carries a cutter-head with seven in serted htgh-speed steel-boring cutters; the arbor is, driven by chain from n 35= horsepower motor. After buildine the machine a dummy chord exactly like the chord to be bored in the brfd ge was built. and the machine tested on it in the builders shop. The aggregate thickness of metal which the boring bar had to go through was about 24 inches and the total volume of steel removed nearly a cubic foot It took something over an hour to make the cut (from 10 to 13-inch hole) and ev- erything went smoothly. c
 When it came to the actual bridge, the first difficulty encountered was that the old pin could not be pushed out even after the wedge load transferring g apparatus had relieved the pin of all it's load Gas determined by extenso- meter measureTnen on the members of the cantilever). It was necessary to cut the pin in two lengthvise by drilling four two-inch holes through it and broachtng out the intervening webs.
 The work of placing the new pin in- volved removing the old pin, boring out the pin hole from 10 to 13 inches, and inserting the new pin, at the same time attaching to the new pin the added new wind chord. The opera ton was extremely delicate, not only because of the necessity of reopening the bridge to traffic after as short a stoppage as possible. but also because so long as the pin was out there was only temporary wind chord con- nection between the main span and the land span, and the structure was thus in some temporary instability with reference to strong lateral forces Therefore, the entire process of pin replacement was planned out with scrupulous care and with provision for all possible contingencies.
