danensis BS: Forth Road Bridge spans 50 years? (25) RE: BS: Forth Road Bridge spans 50 years? 29 Dec 07


My late father-in-law Robert Edward (Colin) Campbell was involved with the design and manufacture of the ropes used in many suspension bridges around the world. Indeed he invented many of the processes for drawing these ropes, but got little credit for it.

It seems strange that there should be a quote about the Tay Bridge disaster in the same thread, as his great uncle was killed in that disaster - indeed his grandfather married the younger sister of the victim, after her father died of a broken heart.
