Bobtail swing bridge?[edit]

Looking at the Tyle Mill Lock bridge from the air^[1], it seems to be shorter on the west end (relative to the pivot point) than to the east. I haven't found a definition of "bobtail swing bridge" but the other (clear) example I've found^[2] suggests "bobtail" means that the bridge is shorter on one side of the pivot than the other. Can anyone confirm that? Do the British have another name for that kind of bridge? Inkwzitv (talk) 19:36, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
