— The Great Bridge - David McCullough
==Every diagonal stay, Roebling explained, formed the hypotenuse of a right triangle (the bridge floor and the tower forming the shorter sides) and thus provided tremendous stability, since, as he said, “The triangle is the only unchangeable figure known in geometry .
.
.”== Altogether, cables, suspenders, stays, and bridge floor formed a kind of truss.
The great horizontal stability of the bridge was due in large measure, he said, to such “bracing” of the cables.
