very far from it. The Pandoo is
a river that carries a good deal
of water during floods, and it
would be advisable to select
a point for the aqueduct crossing,
where the section is capacious
and in designing the building to make it as
free from obstruction as possible 628
For this purpose (as well, I may
say, as for the same purpose in
all cases connected with these
rivers) I would use a [sheet ?] from
channel resting on masonry
piers, in preference to arches which
with their [spandrels ?], occupy so
much space, and offer so much
obstruction to the water way.
The detail of feeders from
the Cawnpoor terminal
for maintaining the supply
in a state of efficiency, would
be similar to that before des-
cribed; the Pandoo river
would be crossed at convenient
points by aqueducts, and the
channels from the intermediate
Rajbuha heads would act as
feeders to the aqueduct lines

the Dubowli regulator; here
there is a bridge with a drop

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
