The hatched lines correspond with the ribs of the arch and are labelled A-D. The plan on the right-hand side shows a square iron pillar with the octagonal wood surround and brackets on the interior angles. The elevation on the right-hand side shows the wooden arch and iron post springing from the pier, and attached with pairs of bolts. The curve of the arch is attached to wooden struts by further bolts. The section shows the arrangement of the vertical iron posts with the attached wooden ribs, labelled A-D emanating from the pier beneath, and connecting to a beam at the top. Some faint pencil designs of the arch in plan and elevation are visible, along with pencil emendations
