A Mere Tile Drain Supplies Water Power 



The tile opening in the ground from which 

 the stream was first guided. As it was 

 small in size and the ground quite level 

 a dam of any size could not be used for 

 storng the water, consequently the fall 

 had to be obtained through a flume 



The stream in this particular instance 

 started from a mere puddle of water, 

 where a slight obstruction was placed 

 to guide it into the flume that was carried 

 on trestles to the power ■ house at some 

 distance down the slope and near a ditch 



Where the flume ended . ,..cr 



house an automatic feed arrangement 

 was attached over the water wheel so 

 that only a certain average amount of 

 water was allowed to spill on the bucket 



Within the iie drive wheels and 



dynamo together with the switchboard 

 and storage-battery were placed. Th3 

 discharge of water was run through a pipe 

 into the ditch beside the power house
