Works at Inchgarvie, showing completion of lifting platforms

"Photograph of works at Inchgarvie, showing completion of lifting platforms. There is much similarity in this view and the last one taken at this site, a period of three weeks only having elapsed, and represents the mass of material employed in the construction of lifting platforms. The cranes and various machines on same are clearly depicted, and a large amount of the detail, invaluable to any one requiring information upon primary preparations for erection of this, the largest cantilever, is secured." Transcription from: Philip Phillips, 'The Forth Railway Bridge', Edinburgh, 1890.
