the Golden Gate, senior engineer Charles Alton Ellis, collaborating with famed bridge designer Leon Moisseiff, was the principal engineer. Moisseiff produced the basic structural design. The literature on Golden Gate doesn’t reference Vierendeel either.

A swing bridge is a movable bridge that has as its primary structural support a vertical locating pin and support ring at or near to its center, about which the turning span can then pivot horizontally. The primary disadvantage is that the central pier forms a hazard to navigation thus reducing the width of the channel. Asymmetrical bridges may place the pivot near one side of the channel.

The other interesting feature of a swing bridge is that when open, the bridge will have to maintain its own weight as a balanced double cantilever, while whento a past that shows us who we are now."
