DESIGN:
A 12 spoke wagon wheel design with 2 spokes 'covered' by two bars creating a center badge. The 4 numbers and the foundry name, Campbell Foundry, Harrison N.J., are the only inscriptions. 8 straight vents circle the center. Unlike earlier variants the foundry name is not on the rim but on the middle of the three rings.
UTILITY:
This type cover is often associated with parks, highways or NYC housing projects This is one of the rare examples of this type with 8 vents, needed at times to prevent the build-up of explosive sewer gases.
RANGE:
This type of cover is found throughout the city, often in parks or near housing projects. This one is south of LaSalle Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave.
