VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image depicts an architectural blueprint of the G. W. R. Carnon Viaduct, as indicated by the title at the top center of the drawing. The blueprint is detailed and includes various views and cross-sections of different parts of the viaduct structure. The upper left corner features a side elevation view showing an arched section between two vertical supports or piers, with dimensions provided for reference. Below this are smaller diagrams detailing specific components such as voussoirs (wedge-shaped stones in arch construction), a plan view of a pier cap, and sections through a cornice detail. The central portion of the blueprint displays front elevations for five spans labeled Span No. 1 to Span No. 5, each with varying heights which suggests that they might be designed to accommodate different terrains or requirements along the viaduct's path. On both sides of these central drawings are additional details like enlarged plans and sections through piers, showcasing their robust construction meant to support significant weight and withstand environmental stresses. Throughout this technical document, one can observe annotations describing materials, measurements in feet and inches (indicative of imperial units used during its creation), references to other drawings ("See Drawing No. "), and notes on modifications or specifics about certain elements ("Extra Stone, " "Common Brick"). Overall, this historical engineering document provides insight into civil engineering practices from when it was created—likely during the late 19th or early 20th century—and represents meticulous planning required for constructing large-scale infrastructure projects like railway viaducts.
