SCOTLAND'S FORTH BRIDGE, SYMPHONY IN STEEL  

pHE Firth of Forth is spanned at Queensferry by the famous  

Forth Bridge, one of the engineering wonders of the world.  

This gigantic structure is used exclusively for railway traffic, and  

was built between 1882 and 1890 on the cantilever system, with  

three massive steel from each of which extends an arm on  

both sides to meet the arm of its neighbour or the approach viaduct  

as the case may be. To get an adequate conception of this huge  

yet graceful bridge, it must be viewed from below, and preferably  

when an apparently toy train is seen crossing the gigantic network  

of girders, as in the above picture.  

There are two main spans of 1710 feet each, and two side  

spans of 689| feet, its total length, including its approaches, being  

If miles. The top of the bridge is 361 feet above high-water level,  

and the headway under each span is 150 feet. In its construction  

54,000 tons of steel were used, million rivets, and it was built  

by 5000 men at cost of nearly £3,000,000. The painted surface  

covers an area of 135 acres, and its annual cost of maintenance is  

about £5OOO. The engineer of the bridge was Sir John Fowler,  

assisted by Sir Benjamin Baker, with Sir William Arrol as con-  

tractor.  

The islet seen in mid-channel, which affords stepping-stone  

for the bridge, is named Inchgarvie, on which fort was originally  

built in 1491. After resisting Cromwell in 1650, it was restored in  

1779 to guard against the threatened raids of Paul Jones, the  

American privateer.
