Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proposed Hydro-Electric Development on the West Branch of the Penobscot River in Maine: A Thesis Presented to the President and Faculty of Armour Institute of Technology
Nature daily creates millions of horse power by the streams and rivulets coursing down mountain and hill side. Since time without record water power has been utilized by man, and yet in comparison with the supply the amount that is consumed to-day is infinitesimally small.
The idea of water power is generally associated with a large river or stream, huge dam, giant penstock and massive water wheels, enormous generators and long transmission lines, and with imposing blocks of securi ties.
