MAGINNIS 

 PATENT 

 FLUME, 

 SHEEP TROUGHS AND CATTLE TANKS 



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

 inches parameter, or above 36 parameter it is made in 80-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 our home county. Only two wooden flumes are now in use 

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

 monials as fo the merits of our flume state that in nearly every 

 instance they have been substituted for wooden flumes. On 

 advantage ot the galvanized 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 

 softened up that supports settle. This never occurs with the 

 * Maginnis flume. Very little timber is required, just two slight 

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

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

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

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

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

 carry the weight 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 strong enough to carry much greater weight than 

 *> can be put upon it. Special flumes made to order.
