CIX OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1928 15 NO. 119 SKILL AND PATIENT TOIL FORGES NEW LINK BETWEEN EASTBAY CITIES The George Posey tube, monument to the craft of man in his struggle to overcome Nature's barriers, is finished. This afternoon leading citizens of Oakland and Alameda took part in ceremonies befitting the accomplishment of such a feat. The subway, which grew first in the minds of Eastbay citizenry, determined that the estuary should not forever hamper travel between Oakland and Alameda, was dedicated by the men whose labors brought a dream into fruition.

Engineering skill has left nothing undone that the tube might serve its purpose most efficiently and with the maximum of safety. -Some idea of the precautions taken to insure against accidents, particularly in regard to ventilation of the tube and disposal of the deadly monoxide gas from automobile exhausts, may be gained from a glance at these pictures and sketches. (1) Drawing of one of the huge "blower" fans which force fresh air into every cubic inch of the subway. Note the size of the fan as compared with the man alongside. Four of these fans force fresh air in, and an equal number draw the oul air out.

(2) View b'f the roadway under the estuary, showing the slots under the walkways through which the fresh air flows in; the exhaust air vents in the ceiling; and the drains in the roadway. (3) O. TRUNNEL. operator on duty at the automatic indicator and control board at the Oakland portal, shows how he sits, ever alert, watching his instruments and movement of. traffic.

Indicators on the board tell him from moment to moment how every piece of machinery in the tube is functioning. A close-up of the board with detailed explanation appears at the upper right. (4) View of instrument panel containing delicate tachometers and other instruments showing speed of the fan motors, percentage of monoxide gas in the tube's atmosphere, depth of water in low level sump, and electric leakage from wiring in the subway. (5) View of the Oakland portal from the. mouth of the tube.

Artist's sketch (upper right) gives a cross section of the tube and one portal, graphically portraying the ventilation system.
