This wheelhas met with some success. In fact it is named the SuccessWheel by the maker. It has not yielded quite so high an 324 7 CKP/XES. efificiency as the Swain or the American, but it is probable thatthis does not result from the form of the influx orifices. Themaker claims an efficiency of 80 per cent as the result of testson this Fig. 154- The Risdon Wheel is shown in vertical section with itsattachments in Y\g. 155, in exterior view in Fig. 156, and thewheel detached from the case appears in Fig. i 57. A is thewheel, which is cast in a single piece; BE the guides, which arecast in one piece with the guide-plate R. Three of the guidesare heavier than the others and support the pieces FF whichsustain the crown-plate F, and have the slots G to admit of themovement of the gate. In other words, the supports FF vest onthe thick guides, straddle the gate, and sustain the latter is circular and makes a water-tight joint with thecylindrical gate C by means of the packing-nng //.
