About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 Excerpt: ...head of tide at Raritan Landing there was formerly a dam across the river and a mill site. This was destroyed by the construction of the Delaware and Raritan canal, and the company substituted for it the right to 200 horse-power to be drawn from the canal under about 14 feet head. This would amount to 126 cubic feet per second. The Norfolk and New Brunswick Hosiery Company are said to be entitled to the use of about 60 cubic feet per second from the canal. This is used on about 11 feet fall. The wheels in place there, as reported, would call for about 176 cubic feet per second. Our gaugings show, during the daytime, a flow of 254 cubic feet per second through the canal, and an average flow of about 180 cubic feet. We estimate about 45 to be needed for leakage and lockage over and above the amount of lockage from the upper level of the canal. This would leave 135 cubic feet per second continuously available for power, equal to 15.34 horse-power per foot fall, and if used with the full 17 feet head available at New Brunswick would give 260 horse-power. We estimate the power available for 9 months of the ordinary dry year to be 36 horse-power per foot fall. Allowing for leakage and lockage, if this amount could be passed throughout the canal to New Brunswick, it would give, on 15 feet fall, 465 horse-power, or twice this for 12 hours per day. At Raritan we estimate 19.2 horse-power per foot fall, and we find 20.2 horse-power improved at the Raritan Water Power Company's plant. This consists of a crib dam 240 feet long by 4 feet high, and & raceway 3 miles long built about 1840. The fall is about 15 feet. The rental is somewhat indefinite, but seems to approximate $28 per horse-power per annum. Between this and the mouth of the Millstone there is about 11 f...
