the wheel must be sufficient to give the falling watergreater velocity than the periphery. The peripheral velocityin practice is from 5 to 10 feet per second, that of the fallingwater from 9 to 12 feet per second, corresponding to a heightof from 16 to 27 inches above the wheel. These wheels are… … Fig. :io.—Section of Overshot Watek- WHEEL. 284 EXPERIMENTAL ENGINEERING. [§ 241.
