No. 4 Moonda Khera Escape

Passing by the head
of the Bolundshuhur Branch
at the 110th mile which may be
considered as capable on emer-
-gencies of performing the duties
of an escape, we arrive at the
Moonda Khera outlet, lying at
the 141st mile, and at the head
of the rapid descent which takes
place in the canal levels at the
lower extremity of the main
trunk.

The Moonda Khera, and its
neighbor the Kasimpoor Escape,
are to the lower, what the three
escapes before described are to the
upper tract of the main canal
in its passage over the high land
of the country.

[note in margin: Fig. K. P.129 Vol. II Ch.1 Part III]

The influence that these two
works exert upon the regulation
of the supply in the terminal
lines into which the main trunk
is separated at Nanoon has
been elsewhere adverted to; that
now under description I may
repeat, provides the means of
relieving the canal on occasions
when the Bolundshuhur Branch
is thrown out of use, and its
water is turned into the main
trunk, which it also relieves from
a large body of water at a point
before it reaches the lower levels
in the neighborhood of Alligurh.
^[The Moondakhera Escape] gives facilities also for repair
to the masonry descents and
works connected with them, which
lie on [the, struck through] its downstream side.

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.
