Queensferry cantilever two thirds full height

"Photograph of the Queensferry cantilever two thirds full height. Similar to other views, but showing the work much advanced. The 12 feet tubes are represented by rather more than 1 inch on the paper, and the whole arrangement of lower bracing supporting internal viaduct is shown in every particular. By reference to no. 1 an idea of how far the work had advanced when this picture was secured will easily be obtained, as of the three diamonds formed by wind bracing just includes the lower two." Transcription from: Philip Phillips, 'The Forth Railway Bridge', Edinburgh, 1890.
