Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ... free on board in the Thames 15 14s. per ton. MONTESA BRIDGE. ALMANZA, VALENCIA, AND TARRAGONA RAILWAY, SPAIN. A view of this bridge is given at Plate 16. It consists of two spans, supported by a middle pier, composed of cast iron columns with wrought iron bracing. The railway is carried on the top of the girders by a platform of cross-girders of H' section.

Above the splay length the cylinders are filled with brickwork in cement, and the girders rest on two granite blocks about six feet square each; a piece of sheet lead, 12 lbs. to the foot, being inserted between the stone and the girder bed-plate. The main girders are of the straight flange plate web kind, carrying cross girders every five feet, between which run short girders carrying longitudinal Memel sleepers. The curved deck p...
