Well Sinking. Gallows on Ground, [Curzon Bridge construction, Allahabad]. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Historical Events
View of the dredgers at work, operated by steam hoists seen on the right. Gales writes (see notes in Introduction): 'The gallows used for the first 70 or 80 feet of sinking consisted of three pairs of sheer-legs, standing on sills on the sand, with a 14-inch by 14-inch balk across the top, from which the dredgers were slung. The sheer-legs were 60 feet in length, made up by splicing, and it was therefore possible to build full lengths of masonry and sink them without shifting the sinking gear at all, thus effecting a saving of much time and money'.
