Though the public hand towel has long been recognized as insanitary, it is still widely used in Germany, and Dr. Walter Kikuth and Dr. Ludwig Grün wanted to study just how dangerous roller towels were.

Fulltime crews patrol the bridge day and night, and when their measurements tell them the structure needs adjustment, they pump oil into the appropriate hydraulic cylinders to raise a section or shove it sideways. So far they...
