Framed Prints From Memory Lane
Framed Print of The men of the bridge. Painting the Forth Bridge is a long and complex task
The men of the bridge. Painting the Forth Bridge is a long and complex task, taking three years to complete. It requires 50 tons of paint each year and a squad of 24 men working permanently. Each painter must have a complete disregard for height and the agility of a cat. Working 300 feet above the Forth calls for no ordinary tradesmen. The lower girders of the structure, lashed continually by salt spray, are painted with a black mixture, mainly composed of pitch. This was the idea of Foreman Paton and it counteracts the quick corrosive actions of the salt. 12th September 1949. © Mirrorpix
