The regulation of water wheels driving electric generators has always been a serious problem with which hydraulic engineers have had to contend, but it would seem that regulation can now be had comparable with that obtained with the automatic steam engine.
This close regulation has been accomplished in the Lombard water wheel governor, which was selected and installed in the magnificent, up-to-date power house of the Bridge Mill Power Company, at Pawtucket, R. I. The Lombard Water Wheel Company, of 61 Hampshire Street, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass., claim that since they have been in business, they have never failed to govern water wheels operating electric street railway generators (the most difficult load to govern), to the entire satisfaction of the purchaser. The company's governors are now being used successfully with every modern make of turbine, working under heads varying from 6 to 200 feet.
The accompanying engraving represents the type C, Lombard water wheel governor installed in the Bridge Mill plant.
