[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] Kiernan: Are you sure it was an Arch? My impression was that is was a Cantilever, just by having the roadway on top was essentially upside down from the normal steel truss cantilever arrangment. You are the former bridge inspector, so I could well be wrong, but it sure did not look arch like to me. Also in could well be in the early days of computer use in design. I began my engineering education in 1962, and we did have one course in the curriculum on computer (an IBM 1620. I may not remember the model of my first PC, but that I will not forget.) in which we actually got to be in the presence of the computer for a couple of classes. It was treated about like entering a temple and approaching the idol, only lacking the burning of incense to make it complete. George (currently PE in only one state) [/QB][/QUOTE]
