The construction of the bridge over the Ohio River for the crossing of the Cincinnati Southern Railway in 1875, and the subsequent letting during the same year of the contracts for nineteen other iron bridges and viaducts for the same road, including the important structures over the Kentucky and Cumberland Rivers, were the occasion of my first experiments on the strength of wrought iron columns. Gordon's and Rankine's empirical formula, deduced from Hodgkinson's experiments on solid bars of small sizes, and used almost exclusively by American engineers for the determination of the sectional areas of compression members.
