The 



Lennon Metal Flume 



Many Cross Bars Saved on the Large Sizes 

 None Used on Small and Medium Sizes 



The Lennon Smooth Metal Flume is the most 

 advanced type of flume made, both as to efficiency 

 and economy. Xo obstructions to catch and hold silt, 

 gravel, or sand, which holds moisture and causes 

 rusting or corroding at joints. 



Galvanized iron or steel will last many times 

 longer in the open than when covered by earth or 

 sand, hence the advantage of not having any held 

 at flume joints. Dry sand or earth constantly passing 

 over metal surface will wear the surface more or less 

 rapidly, but when mixed with water the specific grav- 

 ity of water causes a great portion to be entirely 

 suspended in the water and decreases the wearing 

 weight of the heavier substances, thereby causing 

 practically no corroding process on the metal.
