useful when the supply does not
exceed the capacity of the branch
in laying the main trunk
dry, and of converting the branch
into an escape. Collectively they
may relieve the main trunk
and with the aid of the escapes
do all that is required without
the aid of the relulator des-
-cribed in the [1st?] section. Practice
and the electric telegraph will
render these works of the highest
value and importance to the
regulation of supply. They
come under the following heads

A. Head of the Futtigurh Branch
B. Do Bolundshuhur do
C. Do Koel do
D. Works at the [Vanoon?] Fork
connected with the termi-
nal lines to the Ganges
and the [Jumna?].

A. The Futtigurh Branch
leaves the main trunk on the left
at the 50th mile of its course
at an angle of 60° degrees; its
supply is calculated at 1240
cubic feet per second, and the
main trunk after having dis-
-posed of this supply passes
onwards in a volume equal to
5180 cubic feet per second.
The slopes of the channels of
both the branch and main
trunk are equal [?] 15 inches
per mile, and the soil through
which they pass consists of a
combination of clay and sand
in which the latter predominates.

I have in diagram XIX
in the 2nd part of this paper,
given an outline of the works
attached to the branch heads.

"Do" is a British abbreviation of "ditto."

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.
