Frederic Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue and obtained a US patent for its structure. Maurice Koechlin - chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower - engineered the internal structure. Eugene Violiet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repousse technique, where a malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side.
The statue is made of a sheathing of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf (originally made of copper and later altered to hold glass panes). It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall.

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
mother of exiles. From her beacon-hand
glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, you storied pomp!"
Cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your
poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless. Tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

IMPLIED DETAIL QUESTIONS
Until 1996, the Sears Tower was the tallest building in the world, with more than a hundred stories. It is located
in Chicago, whose nickname is the Windy City. The combination of a very tall building in a city with such
weather conditions leads to a lot of swaying in the breeze. On a windy day, the top of the building can move
back and forth as much as three feet every few seconds. The inside doors at the top of the building open and
close, and water in sinks sloshes back and forth.
a) The Sears Tower is probably
A. as tall as the Empire State Building
B. no longer the tallest building in the world
C. taller than any other building
D. still the highest building in the world
b) It can be inferred from the passage that Chicago
A. has moderate weather
B. is generally warm
C. has humid weather
D. usually has a lot of wind
