Abstract :
Control of water level according to a predetermined cycle and its automatic recording in a model of the Cape Cod Canal have been accomplished by electrical means which depend for operation upon the capacitances between the surface of the water and metal plates suspended above the water. The theory of operation and the apparatus are described in this paper.
