Dealer Notes

“The Rupnarayan Bridge, at Kola, has been built by the Bengal-Nagpur Railway Company, and forms part of the direct east-coast line between Calcutta and Madras” (opening paragraph). This separately printed paper offers a brief description of the river Rupnarayan, the building of the bridge (foundations, sinking of caissons, building of superstructure). The accompanying large folding plate shows the location of the bridge on a map, longitudinal and other sections of the bridge and its components, and illustrations of individual parts.
