ride on rails, it's not an aerial tramway. Or a gondola lift. With no disrespect to Waddell, dead even longer than Steinman, he's giving a justification for why one uses a transporter bridge to effect a crossing at grade, rather than a definition of one. I have to wonder, why exactly does this matter? This oddball construction is certainly closer to a transporter bridge than to anything else, and there are many sources that cite it as "one of only two transporter bridges ever built in the US". ++
245: 224: 255: 407:. The Sky Ride violates the most basic concept of a transporter bridge, the desire to transport passengers, vehicles, and cargo at the grade of the surrounding terrain without building a bridge deck at grade, in order to leave the bridged waterway unobstructed. This is accomplished by a rigid elevated superstructure carrying a rolling truck which in turn supports a gondola which is, by cables or less often by a rigid structure, 140: 335: 119: 71: 150: 523:(though there's considerable sloppy use of both terms and the term "cable car") by the gondolas on an AT rolling along a fixed cable by being pulled by a second cable versus the gondolas on a GL riding on a single moving cable. I assert no claim that that distinction is correct, but only that it is the position already taken in Knowledge (XXG). The gondolas on the Sky Ride rolled along a fixed cable. 88: 1242:, was completed, over the ship canal from Lake Avenue, Duluth, to Minnesota Point" (emphasis added) thus implying that the Knoxville cableway was not a transporter bridge .) On page 11 the author also describes and includes a sketch for a proposed design for a "modified type of transporter bridge" which is clearly an aerial tramway (and one on which, I would hope, they would distribute 1365:, that ferried people across the lagoon in the center of the fair. It was demolished after carrying X,XXX,XXX riders during the run of the fair. The Sky Ride had an 1,850-foot (564 m) span and two XXX-feet tall towers, making it the most prominent structure at the fair. Suspended from the span, 215 feet (66 m) above the ground, were rocket-shaped cars, each carrying 36 passengers. 21: 1274:. A clue might be found in Tyrrell's comment that the car on the Knoxville cableway moved at a steep incline. It may be that the engineers and architects of the day only considered near-horizontal aerial tramways, such as that at Devil's Dyke, as transporter bridges, but considered those which scaled heights to be a structure type unto themselves. (As can be seen from the 943: 708:
article proposed a new use for this type of construction doesn't convert it from a aerial tramway to a transporter bridge. You can load up a passenger car with household goods to move them from one home to another, but that doesn't make the car a moving van. The 1933 article never calls the Sky Ride
1269:
It is thus clear that contemporary sources clearly considered at least some aerial tramways to be transporter bridges. What's not clear at this remove is whether they considered all, or just some, aerial tramways to be transporter bridges. It's not that aerial tramways were new or novel at this time
537:
Accounts of the bridge differ. Some illustrations show girders of a truss, while others show only cable stays but the "rocket cars" by many/most accounts, ride on rails, not cables. Steinman, the designer of the bridge, of course would know what was built, but he's been dead a long time. If the cars

Also, I consider the Engineering News-Record article and the book co-authored by the engineer who designed it, both published and scholarly, to be much more reliable sources than this page. So While we should change the article to describe both in the lead section, I don't think this is such a big

Those pics are amazing, I had not found them at the time I was doing my original research. They should be referenced from the article. I wonder where they came from. I agree with you that they clearly show that the "truss" is really just an arrangement of cables (which is what most sources say)...

and is clearly an aerial tramway. (It must be also noted, however, that Tyrrell later, at page 9, after describing the Portugalete, Bizerta, Rouen, Nantes, and Marselle classic-style transporter bridges, says, "up to this time, transporter bridges had not been used in America ... but in 1905,

I thought I tried to say that I'm Ok with the text added by me, the thing DOES have aspects of aerial trams, but I like your wording even better. No one needs to feel badly about this episode, the article is better now than it was before due to us all digging around and adding bits we found.
786:
There are sources that describe it as both, so the article should describe it as both. However, I would have to think that if the Popular Science article had come true and larger versions were built that carried vehicles, our German source would not be calling this a cable car. -

Text about the number of transporter bridges in the US can then be moved to the history section. I think this is more engaging than the current lead. It also explains why the article is in both the amusement ride category as well as the transporter bridge category. Thoughts? -
459:, which I consider pretty reliable (although I'm not sure how reliable others consider it) . In thinking about this more, it seems your argument is based on conveyance grade level as the defining feature of transporter bridge. I'm not sure I agree with that one feature being 411:. In the Sky Ride, the gondolas are (a) at the level of the superstructure, not at grade, (b) are attached directly to, not suspended from, the rolling trucks, and (c) passengers ascend to the superstructure level by elevators. One of the sources cited by the article, 367:
I have a family heirloom, a U.S.Patent granted to William Lindsay Hamilton, his heirs relating to "Ropeways and the like". I understand that William Hamilton designed the Transporter Bridge. The Patent number is 1501333 and was granted in Washington on 15th July, 1924
434:
I have to dig up the research I did way back when but I think there are sources that characterize it as a transporter bridge. I can't argue with your criteria based analysis, if you posit the assumptions, it's correct, but I do wonder where you got the criteria from?
559:, especially in the second and third images. As to the reason that it matters, it's simply a matter of someone's mistake being perpetuated. In the grand scheme of things, however, I'm not sure that this or anything about transporter bridges matters other than as a 488:, "The only excuse for the existence of this type of structure is that its construction is permissible at certain locations where no low-level bridge would be allowed, and where a high-level structure would be unsatisfactory for the crossing traffic." 915:
Let me try to dig those up. IF they even exist. It's been a long time since I worked on this and it's possible that I just synthesized it (it's allowable to do counting synthesis IF your facts are in order :) ) rather than found it somewhere.
