AHA! :!:
So ... the general confusion on this thread, which has everyone talking in parallel about slightly different subjects, but all thinking they are conversing about the same thing and therefore misunderstanding each other (at least as it appears to me as I sit here trying to understand this discussion,) is all due to the date on doctorwayne's bridge, a Central Valley model of a steel Pratt Truss bridge, as actually being "1902" and not "1832" as was apparently misread early on.
Is that the story here ... or am I even more confused than anyone else? :?

EDIT: O.K. ... due to my terminally slow typing and then correcting typos after an agonizing slow proofread, Gary has snuck one in under my post, rendering mine redundant and unnecessary! I'll now go back to waiting for soft solvent joints to cure!
