Completed Outlet Gate Blockouts

Washington State University Libraries

Field Value
Title Completed Outlet Gate Blockouts
Description Completed blockouts for the el. 934 outlet works conduit gates. Due to the fact that the ring follower and paradox conduit gates could not be delivered until late in 1937, the blockouts were provided for their future installation. Consolidated Builders installed over half of the gates in the spring of 1938; but due to high water, the installation could not be completed until fall. Here are the completed outlet tubes for water to flow into and out of the power generator turbine.
