replies: text: Mormon Bridge (Omaha) →  – The disambiguation page links only to this, and the card game Oh Hell, and that article makes no mention of it being called "Mormon Bridge".

Talk:Claud Beelman

message: Beelman's first name is misspelled in this article. It should have no "e" on the end. The article will have to be moved to "Claud Beelman". References to him on the Internet in which his name is spelled "Claude" actually outnumber references using the correct spelling (using Google search). However, the majority of references made to him in print during his lifetime use the e-less spelling "Claud" (search of the California Index of the regional history section of the L.A. Public Library web site). Whyaduck 04:18, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Whyaduck 06:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Interesting, but contemporary references to his work in publications such as The Los Angeles Times, The Los Angeles Examiner, Southwest Builder & Contractor, Architect and Engineer, Pacific Coast Architect, and Architectural Digest use the spelling "Claud". Had publications been routinely misspelling his name during his lifetime, he'd have had plenty of opportunity during his long career to correct them. "Claud" was apparently the spelling of the name he used professionally, regardless of what his legal name might have been. This conclusion is underscored by the fact that the National Register of Historic Places uses the spelling "Claud" (for "Building at 816 S. Grand" and "Garfield Building"–his other landmarked buildings are listed under the firm name Curlett & Beelman). If somebody comes up with evidence from Beelman's own hand (drawings in his archives routinely signed with "Claude" or business cards from his office using the spelling "Claude", etc) that he used "Claude" more often than "Claud", then the article title should be changed back to that spelling. In the absence of such evidence, I think the article should stay at "Claud Beelman" with "Claude Beelman" as a redirect page. Whyaduck 02:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks for prodding me to dig a little bit deeper. Here's a scan of a 1937 photo from the Herald Examiner Collection at the L.A. Public Library. It depicts Beelman's rendering of his design for the Thalberg Building at MGM. In his own hand he spells his name as Claud Beelman. Whyaduck 05:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The National Park Service has a great history of the river crossings at Perth Amboy. See American Engineering Record NJ-120. This report includes a quality discussion (pp 6-7) of the County Bridge, which was opened to traffic in 1906. The County Bridge preceded the Victory Bridge and was the first vehicular bridge in that spot. I recommend that this Wiki article incorporate a discussion of the County Bridge. No need for its own article. Perhaps a clearer discussion of the history of the 1926 bridge and its 1906 predecessor would make the article more comprehensive and less oriented to the recent replacement of the old bridge?

message: I discern some desperate efforts from Turks (in this article and other articles) to propagate that Çeşme produces mastic.
Please my friends be patient and try to rein your gluttony, Chios is not yet a part of Turkey.
I live in South Chios and I am mastic producer. This is the only place in the world were there is mastic production. Not even in the North part of this small island. So Mastic is not a brandname of Çeşme, and despite the climate similarities, mastic of the Chios quality is not known to be able to produced in Çeşme. The Cesme mastic production is close to zero. The only source of mastic for Çeşme is the blooming contraband activities. Maybe this is the reason for these lies. I think this endeavor  may shoots to rationalize the product of smuggling.

Most likely, the tracks were simply paved over, but the treatment (paved over or removed) may have been different for on the bridge's deck vs. on the approach ramps, and I have no info. on it. The citations that are/were given make no mention—at least the pages to which those URLs currently link make no mention—of streetcar tracks, but I accept that they did so when cited, and maybe someone else can find a replacement source for the statement that the old (abandoned) tracks became visible again during the recent renovations, since that was not long ago.  I also changed "the 1940s" to 1950, because the tracks remained in use until the end of city streetcar service (as opposed to interurban service) in Portland on Feb. 26, 1950, and I added a citation supporting that detail. None of Portland's last three city streetcar lines crossed the Burnside Bridge, but the cars were based at a carhouse on the east side, at 28th & Ankeny, so streetcars still crossed the Burnside Br. when going into and out of service, a fact specifically mentioned in the 1980 Oregonian article I cited.  By the way, the exact end date for Portland's city streetcar system is pretty well-documented (but was notably wrong [off by two days] in the best-known book about the subject, by John Labbe in 1980) and needs no citation in this article, but I've placed citations for that info. in this article, for anyone interested.

replies: text: Perhaps that considers the river at normal or average stage.  The Sternwheeler Rose (dinner cruise boat), despite its small size and minor clearance does not to go under it, mostly since it would have to raise the tracks portion for it to clear most days.

thread_title: Untitled

message: In 2004 the statement was added
::The main span is 1300 feet, and is 175 feet high. With a total length of 2 miles, it is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the United States. It is the only bridge in the United States to feature the harp (parallel) stay arrangement on two vertical planes, a design which rivals suspension bridges for strength and beauty.''
First, The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge now has a longer total length.  So this statement should be removed.  
Second, I believe I would describe the cable arrangement as "modified harp".  Harp arrangement means that all cables are parallel.  If you zoom in on this picture, you will see at the tower top that the cables come up from the deck and anchor into the tower as horizontal pairs.  What you don't see is that cables from the main span come up and anchor in the tower as vertical pairs, centered between the horizontal pair (I have seen this driving across the bridge).  This means that each pair of cables is only nearly parallel, making it a modified harp design..
The importance of this can be understood in how the cables are stressed (or tightened).  By having the back span cables and main span cables anchor in the tower in different planes, which wi what the above writer was describing, there is less total room required in the tower during construction/maintenance. 
Third, the statement that the design matches the "beauty" of suspension bridges is not a neutral point of view.  This should be deleted also.
