distance from the falling stream so
that the air may pass freely clear
around and in under the issuing
stream. The water below the weir
should never be allowed to back up
to the level Of the crest so as to
exclude the air from I'M
der the issuing stream else COM
plete contraction will not be secur-
ed and the discharge will be affect
ed. II air can pass freely under
meath the Issuing stream the level
OF the water below the weir has
no influence on the discharge. An
observance OF the following rules
will usually insure complete contrac-
ton.
a. The opening of the weir or
the weir notch must be made in a
plane surface perpendicular to the
direction of the flow Of water.
b.. The opening itself must have
sharp edge on the upstream side
and the walls should be level
ed away or the downstream side.
c. The distance of the crest of
the weir from the bottom of the box
or basin should be at least three
times the depth of the water on the
crest.
d. The distance Of the sides Of
the weir notch from the sides of the
box or channel should be at least
twice as greatas the depth OF the
water flowing Owe the crest.
G. In order that the laterel con-
traction should not be disturbed
the length Of the weir crest should
be approx imately three times that
Of the depth of water flowing over
it.
>. The depth OF water flowing
over the weir should not be less
than 2 inches nor more than one
lhird the length of the crest, and
it should be measured where it will
not be affected by waves, wind or
eddies, and far enough up stream
SC that it will not be influenced by
the curvature induced by the falling
water. This cal not be done by
measuring it exactly over the crest.
The distance above the crest which
is usually found sufficient, is up
stream from the crest a distance
equal To the length of the crest.
A handy method of establishing a
point from which to the
head and a method which it to be
recommended, is to drive a heavy
stake up stream from the weir and
at the side where it can be easily
reached. This stake should be
in firmly so as not to be east
ly changed and should be sawed
off squarely at a point slightly be-
low the level of the crest which can
be determined by the aid of a car
penter's level and straight edge.
A heavy spike or nail then should
be driven vertically into the top Of
stake and the top OF its head
be exactly leyeled with the
crest by the same method. The
head OF water flowing over the weir
can then be found by measuring
down from the surface Of the water
to the head OF the nail with an or
binary carpenters rule or square. !
The head must be measured within
1900 of the length of the crest in
order TO limit the error to IL OF
one per cent. A very accurate mea-
surement of the head can be only
made with the hook guage which
consists of a long rod terminating
in an upturned metallic hook, the
rod sliding up and down on a fixed
SUPPORT being actuated by a screw
