Development of the Chicago Type Bascule Bridge
On the background of a description of the waterway system that serves the navigation needs of Chicago, Ill., the author describes the development of a bridge type that serves the peculiar local requirements. The evolution of the movable type of bridge is traced through several phases, including the early “jackknife,” the vertical lift, the rolling lift, and, finally, the various developments of the bascule type.
