and the amount of fall, to ^be over-
-come [which ^in protection, struck through] by as many works [are, struck through]
[necessary, struck through], the completion of these
escape lines will be a heavy
item in the expenditure.

[note in margin: Barnett]

Taking these 3 escapes in
the order of their precedence we
first pass in review.

No. 1 The Khutowli Escape

This building is situated on
the right bank and on the down
stream side of the Khutowli Bridge,
or that in the high road between
Saharunpoor and Meerut. The
axis of the bridge and escape are
separated by a distance of 550
feet.

The West Kalli Nuddi with
which the canal is connected at
this point by an excavated chan-
-nel 60 feet in width ^[at its head, decreasing to 20 feet at its tail,] lies at a dis-
-tance of 3 3/8 miles. Advantage
was taken of a ravine or tributary
which extended inland for some
distance to reduce the length of
digging by leading the line to
its head, the map and section
of this portion of the work are
shewn in the following diagram

(here insert Diag. XCIII)

The total fall from the bed
of the canal to that of the West
Kalli

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.
