I cant say I ever saw a swing bridge. Very fascinating I must say!

Cool video!

I got to turn a small one of these, it had to gear ratios literally named "man" and "woman". Man was 4 turns to rotate the bridge 90 degrees, woman was 12 turns for full rotation.

We have a few swing bridges in the UK most built around 1900 they are a total pain in the butt to keep working.and worn out despite a multiude of major overhauls

Forgot about those bridges. Seems like there were a few that the track mechanism would be raised (risen?) and the boats would go underneath. You don't see many ingenious 'gadgets' anymore.
