Notes Newscopy: "The Golden Gate Bridge lost a chunk of two of its 27,576 cable strands in the interest of science today-to determine whether the giant span may be suffering from fatigue. Above is a view of how the cable is separated, after leaving the bridge proper, before being anchored. At right, Oscar Parker (left), erections superintendent for John A. Roebling's Sons division of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co., and director Daniel F. Del Carlo prepare to remove an eight-foot-long section of a strand for testing. Below Parker eyes cable strand after its removal for testing.".
