Excerpt from Letter From the Secretary of War: In Response to Senate Resolution of December 10, 1894, Transmitting the Report of the Board of Engineers and Bridge-Building Experts, With Other Information, Relative to the Subject of a Bridge Across the Hudson River at New York City

Because Of the great Size of these cross girders and lower chords, and therefore the great excess of strength in this lower truss when the bridge is unloaded, the Board regard the pounds per linear foot of wind pressure on the loaded bridge as the one which throws the greatest strain upon its members, and therefore take this value as the one to be used in combination with the other loads upon a bridge of maximum length.
