Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Experiments on the Flow of Water in the Six-Foot Steel and Wood Pipe Line of the Pioneer Electric Power Company, at Ogden, Utah: Second Series
Six pressure stations, located at the ends of the three portions of pipe above mentioned, were occupied. For convenience of reference, these stations have been designated by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, beginning at the lower end of the steel pipe. Mercury gauges were used at all stations except No. 6, at the upper end of the long section of wood pipe. At this point the pressure was so small that a water piezometer was used. At Stations Nos. 4 and 5 were placed the gauges used in 1897, and their description need not be repeated here. The only change made in these gauges was the attachment of fixed scales for the purpose of reading the position of the mercury in the reservoirs. The gauges used at Stations Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were open manometers similar to the others, but of a modified design.
