What can we learn without experience...
An idea on the paper or not is exactly that, an idea.
An experience is exactly that, a completed set of actions that result in a learning experience that can be shared and taught.
The idea is used as a guide to gain experience. Whether it is an idea for new technology, a new technique, a new method, etc.
Without an idea, not much new progress can be created.
Without Experience not much progress can be completed without the possibility of repeating previous mistakes
The Army’s Bailey Bridge…
It holds a significant place in my memory, particularly during my service with the 317th Engineer Battalion, Charlie Company from 1983 to 1987. As a proud member of the U.S. Army Engineers (SAPPERS Lead The Way), I recall the challenging yet rewarding experience of constructing these bridges. Later in the 1990s, I was stationed with the 250th Engineer Bridge Build Company in Putnam, Connecticut.
The success of the Bailey bridge during World War II can be attributed to its revolutionary modular design and straightforward assembly process. Here are the key features and components that made the Bailey bridge so effective:
1. **Modular Components**: The bridge comprised three main parts: panels, transoms, and stringers. Panels were robust, cross-braced rectangles, measuring 10 feet long and 5 feet high, crafted from welded steel. Despite each panel weighing 570 pounds, they could be easily lifted by four men. Their interlocking male and female lugs, designed for panel connecting pins, enabled quick assembly without relying on heavy equipment.
2. **Transoms and Stringers**: Supporting the bridge's floor were transoms, each 19 feet wide, spanning across. Stringers, 10 feet long, ran between the transoms, supporting wooden planking (chesses) initially, later replaced by steel plates for enhanced durability against tank tracks.
3. **Versatility and Strength**: The modular design provided flexibility in both bridge length and load capacity. Engineers could enhance the bridge's strength by adding up to three panels and transoms on either side or stacking panels vertically, allowing the bridge to span up to 200 feet and support heavy tanks. Footways along the outer sides of the panels ensured safe separation of foot and vehicle traffic.
4. **Launchable Design**: One of its standout features was its launchability from one side of a gap, eliminating the need for equipment or personnel on the opposite bank. By angling the front portion of the bridge with wedges into a "launching nose" and using rollers, the Bailey bridge could be pushed across the gap. Once in place, the roadbed and additional components were installed to complete the structure.
5. **Manufacturing and Interchangeability**: Made from standardized steel alloys, Bailey bridge parts were interchangeable among different factories. Despite these parts being produced by companies with limited bridge-building experience, meticulous assembly into test jigs ensured precise fit and functionality.
In summary, the Bailey bridge's straightforward construction, ease of assembly, and adaptability to diverse conditions made it an invaluable asset during wartime, facilitating swift movement of troops and supplies across otherwise impassable terrain.
