[note in margin: Alder]

The escape channel joins
the Hindun River at a point in
its course 20 miles below the junction
of the West Kalli Nuddi; at this
point the bed of the Hindun is
38.06 feet below the bed of the canal,
a difference of level which will lead
to works of a more extended des-
-cription than those before described
at the Khutowli and Mahomed
Aboo's Escapes.

The disposition of works de-
-pending on this excess of slope
will be as follows:

[table follows]

Distance from the canal to the Hindun	[?] 5..3..445 [?] 5 miles

Total fall from the bed of the canal to the

bed of the Hindun River	38.06 feet

Required slope for the tail of escape head 1.0

Slope of channel @ 1.5 ft per mile 7.5	8.50

Balance superfluous slope	29.56 feet

[table ends]

To overcome which 4 falls of 7 1/2 feet
will be required. Of these 4 falls
the leading one, or that nearest
to the canal would be adapted
to the passage of the Main Right
Rajbuha, and the remaining
3 would occupy positions at
intermediate distances, providing
the means of cross communica-
-tion by bridges.

The [illegible text, struck through] excavated
channel is [being done, struck through] in progress
at a rate of Rs 1..8..0 per 1000 cubic
feet.

The head work is as in the
case of Mahomed Aboo's Escape
built of Kunkur and brick, the
former being confined to the found-
-ations and the massive parts of
the structure.

The proportions of material
used in the cement are as fol-
-lows

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.
