Electrical news and engineering . off the flow is in-stalled at the upper end of the canal near Montrose wherethe earth section of the canal merges into the rock combination of span and head make this gate the largestever built and particular attention was paid to the roller de-sign in order to secure bearing loads well within safe, struc-tural and operating limits. The clear width is 4S feet andthe height of the gale is iZ/z feet. The general arrangement of the control gate is will be noted that the lift is extended to a point 14 feetabove the water level and this has been done in order to per-mit a patrol tug to pass freely up and down the canal whenthe gate is in normal position, i. e., wide open. The gate is couuterweighted and operated by a motorconne<:ted through a worm drive to the two main hoistinggears, and the motor is pro\ided with distant as well as localcontrol so that the gate can be operated from the powerhouse if required. The gate itself is made up with horizontal trusses span-. rmm Sections through intake to penstocks—Note triple openings and double gate protection THE ELECTRICAL NEWS Two Views of Forebay from Opposite Points
