"Lawrence Fishway, September 27, 1919. Looking down on part of fifth (upstream) section. Work finished for the day. Note the fact that the vertical steel has its top at varying elevations. Because the steel in this section was so long and so much time would be consumed in attempting to set it as precisely as necessary, all the steel was jointed. Therefore the first steel was set as shown with tops well staggered and concrete started early as the high water would permit."
