Kerr Turbine. An impulse turbine of the Pelton type hasbeen patented by Mr. C. V. Kerr and was formerly manufacturedby the Kerr Turbine Company, Wellsville, N. Y. In this tur-bine Pelton double cup-shaped buckets are used into which jetsof steam at high velocity are discharged from nozzles, located 264 THE STEAM TURBINE as in Fig. 149, around the periphery of the wheel. The insidesurface of each bucket is formed of two intersecting surfaces of. Fig. 149. Kerr Bucket Wheel and Nozzles.
