I tried to analyze the situation strictly from an engineering standpoint. I paralleled the Manhattan Bridge flaw with the weight outboard the span to excessive torsion in the axles caused by its supports at the extreme ends instead of nearer the centerline. I also correlated the simpler, lighter, and lighter-loaded design to better ease in damping any stresses put to it found in normal service, causing the cycle to feed upon itself: Lighter loads lead to less loading of stressed components leads to a requirement for lighter components, which leads to lighter loads . . . I may not have said it as elegantly as I do my jokes, but I got it out. |
