THE HALL SEGMENTAL RADIAL GATE 



For securing three-part control of water flow 



GATE CLOSED 



Our Circular describing the Hall Segmental Gate, which we will send on application, gives a clear understanding of this most admirable 

 and practical device. For the first time the constantly recurring problem of the absolute control of diversion dams, main canals and 

 lateral ditches is clearly solved. You will catch the basis idea instantly from the subjoined skeleton diagrams. 



We call this " three-part regulation " because the problem always is to control surface flow (for trash) under flow (for silt and sand) , 

 simultaneously and yet independently, and at the same time maintain the upper lip in the proper position for safety spill, so that the 

 canal may never be over-charged and a wash-out result. 



Again, a diversion dam in connection with the canal head gates must always be able to reject the floating trash and sand at the 

 intake and discharge them through the dam. Moreover, the pond above the diversion dam must neither be allowed to fill up, nor must 

 the water level be lowered below the service point. Yet it must at the same time be controlled against sudden rises which would over- 

 top the head gates.

This is a complex proposition and varies with every stage of flood. By the Hall Gate it is absolutely under control, no matter wha 

 the combination. The gates themselves scarcely cost more than the ordinary "Tainter" or "Drum" gate and are operated far more easily 

 The same type of gate is equally applicable to control a reservoir level on the crest of a spillway. The various figures herein shown 

 are to a certain extent self-explanatory the Circular will be wholly so. Send for it. Respectfully submitted,
