Excerpt from Hydraulic Laboratory, McGill University

General Description. - The laboratory is 39 feet in length and 31 feet in width. On the north side, near the centre, stands the Experimental Tank, having its base on a level with the bottom of a flume.

The flume, which is 5 feet wide and 3 feet 6 inches deep, runs from the tank and terminates in an adjustable weir. The water flowing through the flume may pass over or under the we'r and may run to waste or may be made to pass into five large carefully calibrated tanks, 8 inches below tho floor level and ranged in series on the south side of the Laboratory. The covering of the tanks is on tho level and, indeed, forms part of the floor.

Over the easternmost of the tanks stands the Experimental Pump on a base formed of suitably designed carrying girders or trunks.

On the west side, at convenient points along the flume, are the following pieces of apparatus - A 16 inch Pelton Wheel, with brake attachments, a Turbine Tester of special design and an Experimental Centrifugal Pump. Along the west wall is fitted up a Rife Hydraulic Ram with all the necessary pipes and tanks for experimental work. The pumps arc driven from a line of 34 such steel shafting near and running parallel with the east side of the Laboratory. The shafting is operated by a 100 H. P. Mackintosh & Seymour high-speed horizontal engine, standing in an adjoining room.
