Excerpt from Notes on the Selection and Design of Public Works: Hydraulic and Power Plants, Electric Lighting and Pumping Installations, Water Works, Sewerage and Drainage
It is important, when new works are to be installed, to know what has been done in similar cases elsewhere. It is hoped that the following notes, data and illustrations from the writer's practice, will be of interest and value in this connection. The writer will be glad to furnish further information concern ing the works in question or to design and superintend the con struction of similar works. New plants will be designed and installed, and old plants remodeled on an economical and mod ern basis.
