lar, and the bottom in cross section IL
horizontal. The iron 4 rails are placed
on Offsets In the walls at a distance of
about two inches from the top Of the
walls. the base of the rails being
placed fat on the Offsets. The small
boat used is barge shaped, is three
feet six inches long and draws four
inches Of water. The canal has twen-
ty-five feet each of 8. 4 and s per cent
inclines. the remaining Ave feet being
open.
As may be readily seen from the
drawings, the paddle wheel just about
closes the canal. the opening below the
wheel being about three-eighths inch,
or just enough to allow slightly less
quantity of water to pass under the
wheel than comes down the canal.
The wheel is then locked by a simple
device. and the water backs up for a
distance of fifteen to twenty feet. thus
giving a head of about six inches The
wheel is then unlocked and Immediate
ly begins to revolve, rolling upstream
by the aid Of the power generated with
this head. The greater the head the
faster the wheel moves, thus allowing
the water to pass under the wheel
faster. When the water has reached
its normal head Of six inches the wheel
assumes its normal speed, which In the
case of the model was about one-half
mile per hour.
A separate canal should be used for
the traffic in the other direction. but
exactly the same principle of the wa
ter wheel is employed. The main axis
OF the wheel for the descent Is carried
upon a truck supported by four wheels
running directly upon the rails. With
the action of a hand wheel the wheels
on either side of this truck may be
brought closer together, so that they
will raise the axis OF the main wheel,
taking it or the rails for a fraction Of
an inch-in other words. just enough
to keep 1t from exerting its tractive
force on the rails and still not meas
urably increase the dow of water I'M
der 1t Although the rotation as well
as the action Of the wheel will be ex-
actly as in the upstream movement,
the power will be transmitted through
the two wheels direct TO the rails. The
rails Of the truck win turn In the OPP
posite direction from that Of the wa
ter wheel. and as they and not the
water wheel axis rest on the rails the
boat and the wheel are propelled
downstream with the same velocity al
in the opposite direction.
