per mile, the soil is of a con-
-sistency like that at the Futti-
-gurh head, the foundations how-
-ever, are laid in sand, but well
protected.

In other respects the detail
of construction is similar to that
which I have described as the
standard for all works of this
description.

The maximum high water
which will stand upon the
regulator at the Bolundshuhur
Branch Head is theoretically equal
to 8 feet, For the supply of
the branch under such circum-
-stances, it is sufficient to give
a superficial flow over the gates
and sleepers (which would be
adjusted accordingly), equal
toi 2 feet in depth; this agreeably
to the formula of discharge
which has been used throughout
these calculations would be equal
to 479.4 cubic feet per second.

These works are with the
exception of the arches built
entirely of blocks of kunkur,
brought form the quarries at
Bheel and Dotana. The arches are
of brick of the size used at
the Futtigurh Branch Head. The
grooves are lined, and capped
with Agra sandstonen slabs, and
the whole work is externally
stuccoed.

The proportions of material
used in the cement are:

1 part Kunkur Lime to
1/20th of white stone lime.

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.
