A comparison is made between high-resolution observations of two double radio galaxies, 3C 132 and 3C 192, over a frequency range of more than 10:1. Each of these sources exhibits a wide bridge which accounts for about two-thirds of the total radio output and whose extent in the direction perpendicular to the source axis is found to remain unchanged over this large frequency range. In the case of 3C 132 the spectral break observed at centimeter wavelengths provides evidence for a deficiency of more energetic particles, possibly inside the bridge component. The role of radiative and adiabatic losses during evolution of the bridges is discussed. Using the continuous-flow model, physical parameters are estimated for the two sources and for the intracluster medium in which they are embedded.
