Illinois and St. Louis Bridge
A folio engineering atlas of plates for the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge, the Mississippi crossing designed by James Buchanan Eads and published in 1880 for engineers and builders. The plates are technical line drawings of truss elevations, joints, tubular arch members, piers and foundation details, with dimension lines and lettered callouts, useful to a designer for structural diagrams, grid patterns and the precise geometry of steel framing.
