| Title | Center Street Swing Bridge in Cleveland, Ohio, ship approaching, bridge swinging open |
| Description | A ship has requested passage from the bridge operator and the bridge is closed to traffic. The bridge operator, stationed in the center of the tenders house at the center of the truss releases the pneumatic jack. The rollers beneath the deck swing upward and the electric-powered turntable swings the bobtail drawn in the direction of the oncoming vessel. |
