A NEW HYDRAULIC TURBINE. A description of the hydraulic turbines of the Societyanonyme des Ateliers de Construction de Th. Bell et Cie deKriens (Lucerne, Switzerland), is given in LIndustria. Anabstract of the article appears in the April Journal of theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers. The turbineis of the Francis type. The regulator is shown in Fig. oil under pressure is driven from the reservoir B by apump, driven by the pulley S, to the valve gear V, whichcommunicates with the cylinder chambers iCi and C^ by theducts K, and K,, and with the reservoir B by the duct valve gear is regulated by the spring governor R insuch a way that the pressure acting on one side of the piston. Pig. 1.—Oil Regulator in the Bell Water Turbine. K varies according to the conditions of work of the turbine,and produces displacements of the piston which are trans-mitted to the governor spindle. To decrease the stroke ofthe piston, and to prevent excessive opening and closingof the turbine, the gear rod G is provided to bring thevalve into its middle position, so that when the number ofrevolutions of the turbine is constant, the pump works as ifthere were no pressure, and it had only to make the oilcirculate, thus making the consumption of power veryslight.
