Excerpt from Dredge's Suspension Bridge Explained Upon the Principles of the Lever: To Which Are Added, a Specification of the Quantities of Material Used in the Suspension Bridge at Balloch Perry, Dunbartonshire and an Ecometrical Projection
On a subsequent occasion my attention was again directed to the same object, and having in the interval been shown a drawing, which was intended to illustrate the effects of the new principle as compared with those of the old, I was led to the detection of the general term on which the solution depends, and in a few days after, the theory, as discussed in the following pages, was drawn up.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to identify, using mathematical and mechanical principles, the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of the suspension bridge design developed by Mr. Dredge. The author takes the reader through a thorough examination of the key principles that create and maintain the dynamic equilibrium that defines an effective bridge, paying particular attention to the precise variables that make Mr. Dredge's design so innovative and reliable. Equipping the reader with theorems that can be applied to new situations as they arise, this detailed work goes beyond a simple explanation of the theory behind Dredge's invention, it offers tools that empower effective engineering whatever the challenge. The mathematical approach to the subject matter not only provides the necessary depth for the engineer, it also ensures that the text has lasting relevance in a field continually developing new materials and techniques. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
