Waterwheel construction and governing

THE design and manufacture of hydraulic turbine equipment has been very considerably accelerated within the past few years; more particularly since the World War, as the lessons it taught us in regard to diminishing fuel sources and the interruption to fuel supply through labor disturbances, both directly in fuel production and indirectly in its transportation, have stimulated in a very decided manner the investigation and development of the water powers of the nation. The remarkable strides made in the longdistance, high-tension transmission of power have rendered economically available water power sources formerly considered impossible and, particularly, in the West where long distance power transmission and super power zones have now become realities.
