Husband, J.

Mar 1928 n 3 p 85-88: Two remarkable bridges, one in North other in South America; Philadelphia and Camden Bridge over Delaware River and Florianopolis Bridge connecting to mainland of state of Santa Catherina, Brazil; Philadelphia-Camden bridge is the largest span suspension bridge erected down to present time. Apr 1928 n 4 p 103-108: Florianopolis eye-bar cable suspension bridge; summary of principal features which contribute to marked economy of this design; in addition to being longest suspension span in world with eyebar or link chains, it is also of special interest as being first executed example of novel type of stiffened suspension construction, by means of which greatly increased rigidity and economy of materials are realized. June 1928 n 6 p 179-182: Hudson River bridge of 3500 ft. span; feasible limit of span; quotes from First Progress Report on Hudson River Bridge recently issued; table exhibits leading dimensions of Hudson River, Delaware River and Brooklyn bridges; quantities involved in construction of bridge are listed. July 1928 n 7 p 216-220: Few figures relating to physical properties of materials employed on recent bridge structures; tables give composition of various classes of nickel steel for bridge work recommended by Waddell; reference to steel used for Florianopolis bridge.
