Spin...Spin...Spin:
On Thursday, Oct. 13, bridge builder Tacoma Narrows Constructors began
spinning the first suspension cable wire from the Tacoma anchorage, over
the tops of the towers, to the Gig Harbor anchorage and back again. For
the next three months, crews
will spin steel wire, the diameter of a pencil, in groups of four
until a total of 8,816 individual steel wires have been spun, and a 20½-inch
cable has been made.
