Synopsis

Excerpt from The Quebec Bridge: Notes on the Work of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, in Preparing the Accepted Design for the Construction of the Superstructure

There are however some engineering considerations in connection with the preliminary designs. And trial work leading up to the final design which, while beyond the scope of the paper. May be interesting to the members of the Society. Moreover. I feel that the Society should have some record of those who actively contributed to the success of the under taking because so many engineers have been employed upon the work, and it has been so unusual. And of such long duration, that a more state ment of those in charge of various Departments at the finish of the work would omit the names and responsibilities of some who should he recorded in the history of the undertaking.
