| Description |
English: Photograph of the Fife cantilever from the east side. The point from which this view was secured offers absolutely no advantage unless it be variety, since owing to the immense height of the structure and the insignificance of the surroundings distortion is inevitable. Much progress will be observed in this picture by comparing it with the last taken on this site. The joints formed by intersection of struts are only temporarily made, and about them are shown first lengths of horizontal lattice girder, forming when complete a rectangle some feet above rail level. The square angle-iron cages at the extreme end of the bottom member correspond to those employed for a similar purpose on the vertical columns. They are surmounted by a 2 ton hydraulic crane of special design. These cages travel along the tubes as the riveting progresses, being detached and remounted at each joint.
