MAGINNIS 



PATENT 



FLUME, 



SHEEP TROUGHS AND CATTLE TANKS :j 



This rlume is made in eight-foot sections up to and including 36 

 inches parameter, or above 36 parameter it is made in 30-inch sec- 

 tions, ribbed at every splice, and ships "Knocked Down" as third 

 class freight, or nearly as cheaply as galvanized iron in the sheet. 

 This flume has taken the place of the wooden flumes in nearly every 

 ditch in cur home county. Only two wooden flumes are now in use 

 in the county (both of which are practically new). Numerous testi- 

 monials as to the merits of our flume state that in uearly every 

 instance they have been substituted for wooden flumes. One 

 advantage ot the gahanized iron flume is that all the water goes 

 over the flume, which is not possible where wooden flumes are 

 used. Another feature about the disadvantages in using wooden 

 flumes is leakage around posts or bends where the ground is so 

 softentd up that supports settle. This never occurs with the 

 Maginais flume. Very little timber is required!, just two slight 

 stringers of sufficient strength to carry the weight of the water. 

 The Maginnis flume is always ready for business, never leaks, nor 

 does it need constant attention. Once in place, always ready for 

 work. Concerning the length of spans crossing streams, etc., any 

 length can be used by the application of proper size stringers to 

 carry the weigh t of the water. This flume can be taken out and moved 

 in sections of 30 inches without interfering with the rest of the flume. 

 Being made in a semi-circular form, no holes to break, galvanized, 

 thereby causing no rust, no rivets to solder over, no solder, just 

 a plain splice joint. Guaranteed not to leak or buckle, as ribs every 

 30 inches make it string enough to carry much greater weight than 

 can be put upon it. Special flumes maie to order.
