The box includes report drafts, clippings, handwritten notes, typed research notes, brochures and correspondence. The box also includes the following facsimile materials: excerpts, correspondence, journal articles, typed research notes, photographs, drawings, engineering drawings, patents and clippings. Subjects include suspension bridges; Samuel Brown; wire bridges; the Union Suspension Bridge in Horncliffe, England; and other suspension bridges in Germany, Austria, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, and Russia.
