You notice from the exterior view of the tower at this point that the construction is made up of numerous steel plates all riveted together. All adjoining successively smaller telescoping sections of each tower ring are riveted together with a double row of rivets. All rounded vertical tower sections around the circumference are also double riveted together on their seams, giving the tower a unique texture and gives evidence of its construction technique. As you look up the tower you will notice that each section gets slightly smaller than the last from the base starting at 12 ft 6 inches in diameter to the lantern gallery at 10 feet in diameter.
