Another great advantage is that it may be placed at anylevel between the head and foot of the fall, and yet make availablethe force due to the entire head. In order to do this, however, thewheel must, of course, be wholly enclosed, and the water which leavesit must be conducted down to the lowest level in a continuous tube,where it must either be recurved to prevent the admission of air. is better, be imme
