HYDRAULIC POWER AND APPLIANCES. 127. 298. WATER MOTOR. Chain-bucket system. Consists of a series offeathering floats hinged to chains runningover sprocket wheels and guided in groovesin the sides of a casing. By the use of alarge number of inclosed buckets closelyfitted, an efficiency of 90 per cent isclaimed. This claim is doubted in consid-eration of the friction of the many bucketsin the tube, their loose parts, and the twowheels. A matter too often neglected byinventors. Enghsh patent. 299. 1000 HORSE-POWER TURBINE. Swiss type. A singlenozzle set on the inside of a curved bucket wheel. The nozzle is broad
