Provision is also made on thebridges for carrying two three-phase circuits, one circuitbeing supported on the top of each post at the ends of thebridges. In laying out the bridges for the section from Woodlawnto Stamford, it was found that the sharpest curvature was3 degs. As this curvature will permit of stringing the trol-ley wire in straight lines between points of support 150 without deviating from the center of the track more. FIG. 4.—PLAN OF ANCHOR BRIDGE
