Talk:Canal inclined plane

message: I would be very interested to see some dates on this page?
I have been working on a page for John Edyvean who used inclined planes in 1770's are these the earliest in the the UK?

replies: text: A tricky one because we run into the problem of defintions. The mostly likely case for a pre 1770 inclined plane I can think of is the internal inclined planes inside the Duke of Bridgewater's coal mines. I don't know the exact date those appeared though.Geni 16:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Caisson is a DAB page, but caisson (engineering) relates to structures which are effectively the inverse of what's used here (ie a box filled with air and submersed, upside-down, in the water). Something doesn't seem right - maybe there's another sense of caisson that's not yet defined in WP?

replies: text: The word Caisson is the word most commonly used in relevent literature to describe the water filled trough on canal inclines and lifts. Unfortunately, this bears no resemblance to any of the caisson's described in the caisson (engineering) link. An extra paragraph describing the type used on canals may be appropriate.

replies: text: Good stuff - that's what was needed. (It needed a slight tweak to read right, which I've done.) Thanks. EdJogg 18:25, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
