THE CIVIL ENGINEER AND ARCHITECTS JOURNAL. WROUGHT-IRON TUBULAR BOW BRIDGE. CWith an Engraving, Plate In consequence of the tubular form becoming a favourite modeof constructing bridges of wrougbt-iron for railivay purposes, weare induced to give an engraving of a wrougbt-iroii tubular bowsuspension bridge for crossing the Ouse river in Norfolk, designedby Mr. W. C. Harrison, who has had considerable experience inthe construction of some large timber bow suspension bridges onsome of tlie Norfolk railways. Mr. Harrison observes,— The facility with which a how bridgeof this construction, with boiler-plate, could be put together, ap-peared so eWdent, that he felt convinced of its practicability andusefulness for railway purposes, in crossing rivers and valleys, toalmost any extent. A bridge of this kind could be easily puttogether, by the same kind of workmanship as in steam boilers, ina manufactory in any part of the country, and in certain conve-nient lengths of 10, 15, or 20 feecivilengineerarc11lond
