...other four: Holland Tunnel, joining Manhattan and Jersey City; Oakland Tube, connecting Oakland and Alameda, Calif.; Mersey River Tunnel, between Liverpool and Birkenhead, England; the Liberty Tubes, 5,800 ft. long, mountain tunnels, sole route from the South to Pittsburgh.

First tunnel to require a new type of ventilation was the 8,463-ft. commuter-used Holland.† For years Engineer Ole Singstad, assisted...
