Vigilance, a cool head and a steady nerve are required, as there must lie precision and calculation lest the brklgt is swung afoul of a passing vessel or crushes itself by its own weight in reaching "home.” Yet so delicately are the several parts of the machinery adjusted that a child might cause the ends to describe a circle iu the air and glide into the abutments as gently as a toy door swings shut on its tiny hinges.
