THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



SAMSON TURBINE 



When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.
