Transporter Bridge
I recently watched a TV documentary that featured the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge in the UK, one of only half a dozen such bridges world-wide. Having until then never seen or heard of a transporter bridge my thoughts quickly turned to Plastic Meccano.
The most complex part of the bridge is the rail mechanism across the upper span. For this part I am indebted to the constructor of a marvelous crane displayed at Henley in 1987. I was quickly able to adapt their design to this transporter bridge.
