Reference

I haven't time to do this at the moment but there is a useful description of the engineering here if anyone's interested in getting the book. Richerman (talk) 13:41, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bridge in open position?

It would be nice to have a picture of it in the open position? And also the water-holding gates ? Wizzy…☎ 08:06, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Barton Swing Aqueduct. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Questions

1. How often, on average, is the bridge swung?

2. How are the seals made between the gates and the canal sides, when the bridge is open, and between the bridge sides and the rest of the canal, when closed?

3. I have seen a reference to rubber seals - was this also the case when it was built, and how often do they need renewing? PhilUK (talk) 18:00, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
