noteworthy experiments recorded were made about ten years ago by Hamilton Smith, Jr., at North Bloom-field. The wheel was of the ordinary pattern with flat buckets, 18 feet in diameter on the outside and 17 feet 4 inches in diameter to inner line of buckets (17 feet
8 inches in diameter at centre line of buckets). The buckets were 4 inches deep, with flanges on each side. The work done was measured by a Prony dynamometer. The following table shows the result obtained. The head given shows the real head in feet at the point of the discharge.
