This is a detailed technical drawing for an engineering design related to the Boston Elevated Railway's elevated lines. It shows plans for an "I Beam Foundation over Intercepting Sewer" with drawings of the elevation and plan views. The drawing is dated April 21, 1899, and is signed by George A. Kimball, Chief Engineer.

Key Features:

  1. Title and Description:
    The title specifies the subject as the foundation of an I Beam structure built over a brick intercepting sewer.

  2. Scale Information:
    The drawing uses a scale of ¼ inch = 1 foot.

  3. Elevation View:
    Shows the vertical profile of the foundation, with dimensions noted for different layers and components. Pedestal Casting "A" is highlighted as part of the structure. The measurements, such as 22', 18', and others, detail the dimensions of each layer of the foundation.

  4. Plan View:
    Displays the overhead view of the foundation and sewer. The brick intercepting sewer, labeled 8'3" x 8'5", is represented as a circular element beneath the foundation structure. The plan view also shows rectangular layers corresponding to the foundation dimensions.

  5. Materials:
    The note explains that the foundation is made from Portland Cement Concrete mixed at a proportion of 1:2.5. It mentions the substitution possibility for constructing the beams.

  6. Technical Details:
    The inclusion of I Beams (10–12" x 4" beams) and information about possible substitutions (1:4 Cement to Sand ratio) appear at the bottom as specific material or construction instructions.

  7. Engineering Precision:
    Measurements, proportions, and layering are carefully detailed, emphasizing structural integrity over the sewer.

  8. Historical Information:
    The drawing has an additional date mention at the bottom, "Jan 20, 1903," possibly indicating revisions or approval.

This blueprint is an example of early 20th-century engineering, showing the meticulous planning required for elevated railway construction over municipal infrastructure.
