Certain it is that no one has yet found, in ground free from water pressure or abnormal conditions, any evidence of greater pressure at the bottom of a deep shaft or tunnel than that near the surface. keywords: arch; area; depth; earth; experiments; fig; friction; material; piston; pressure; sand; water; water pressure; weight; writer; | |; | || cache: 16938.txt plain text: 16938.txt item: #3 of 20 id: 17302 author: Cresson, Benjamin Franklin title: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, vol.

Meantime, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, as a result of its investigation of the matter, in June, 1891, thought that the most feasible project seemed to be to build tunnels for rapid transit passenger service from its Jersey City Station to the lower part of New York, connecting there with the rapid transit systems of that city, and also extending under New York on the line of Cortlandt Street, with stations and passenger lifts at the main streets and elevated railroads. keywords: avenue; city; company; engineer |; new; new york; pennsylvania railroad; railroad; river; tunnels; york city; | +; | | cache: 18548.txt plain text: 18548.txt item: #11 of 20 id: 18722 author: Woodard, S.
