| Title | Construction closing the arch on the Detroit - Superior Bridge |
| Description | Construction almost finished with the arch of the Detroit-Superior Bridge. "On that day, the two arms were lowered beginning at 10:30 a.m. By 2:23 p.m., with a 2-hour intermission, the arch was closed. Telephones were used to synchronize the action at each hoisting engine, which turned the toggle screws that closed the arch. The two arms of the arch lined up within 1/8 of an inch. The small difference was adjusted by a cable."--Historic American Engineering Record (HAER-OH-6). |
