You mean a philips screwdriver shank?

Get a number three. Some of them are square shank, even more
"precise".
And they are certainly bigger.


Yes. Sorry. Shank.

Actually, truth be admitted, the first two sections were perfectly
aligned, but, the next two "curved" a bit, due to the difficulties of
getting every board lined up straight while being hung from the cables,
so, at times, it's a screwdriver shank on the right side, but an inch
(or so) on the left.

I believe that line is sung right after the bridge.


Looking up from below, you can see that these third and fourth 16-foot
sections have a larger board-to-board spacing on the right than on the
left:

Arc of the Boardament. Just think of railroad tracks.


I've got a Jones to go to Indiana, but the bridge is in CA.
