Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Niagara Power, Vol. 1 of 2: History of the Niagara Falls Power Company, 1886-1918; Evolution of Its Central Power Station and Alternating Current System; History and Power Projects When started thirty years ago, The Niagara Falls Power Company was the greatest hydro-electric enterprise in the world, with water turbines larger than any at that time in existence. Today, having kept step with the marvelous development of the art, it still retains that distinction as its latest water turbines are not only the largest but also the most efficient now in use. The author of these volumes was for twenty years the president of The Cataract Construction Company which erected the original power stations at Niagara Falls and gave financial stability to the then Niagara Falls Power Company. He was intimately associated with every step in the development and personally sought out and interested the eminent international engineers whose counsel and advice were so helpful in the pioneer work. Well might he say with Virgil, All of these things I saw, and a great part of them, I was. It is pleasant to note in this connection that for his work at Niagara Falls, Mr. Adams was awarded the John Fritz Medal, the highest honor at the bestowal of the four senior national engineering societies of this country.

Download or read book Niagara written by Pierre Berton and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2010-03-31 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history of this natural wonder, from its geological beginnings to the present. "The noble cataract reflects the concerns, failings, and fancies of the times. If we gaze deeply into its shimmering image we can perhaps discern our own." - page 22 “[Pierre Berton] makes a serious and convincing case for Niagara's pivotal role in North American history. ... His Niagara is a lodestar for North American culture and invention: site of the first railway suspension bridge, inspiration for Nikola Tesla's discovery of the principle of alternating current, and the subject of Frederic Church's most celebrated landscape; a natural wonder that has bewitched generations of scientists, authors, and utopians, and stimulated innovations and social movements still casting long shadows. ... surprising, rich and engrossing.” -- Thurston Clarke, New York Times Book Review “Canadian historian Berton tells dozens of absorbing tales about the region and those who passed through it ... He tells them all superbly, aided by essential maps and a few reproductions of posters advertising some of the more bizarre stunts.” -- Publishers Weekly “Entertaining. . . . Berton brings to life the adventurers and dreamers, visionaries and industrialists, who over centuries have been drawn to the Falls.” -- Maclean’s "Berton at his storytelling best; there is something here for everyone. ... a vintage, full-bodied read." -- The London Free Press "A book worth diving into." -- Calgary Herald "By turns ironic, amused, shocked, horrified and awestruck, Berton traces Niagara's history through the deeds of those who came in contact with it ... all the while walking the fine line between detachment and emotion with agility and grace." -- The Whig-Standard (Kingston) Pierre Berton was one of Canada’s most popular and prolific authors, and is widely credited with popularizing Canadian history. His previous books include The Wild Frontier, Prisoners of the North, Klondike, The Invasion of Canada, and The Great Depression.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Water-Power of the Falls of Niagara Applied to Manufacturing Purposes: The Hydraulic Tunnel of the Niagara Falls Power Company The magnitude of the great cataract, and its fame as a natural wonder, have heretofore, to a certain degree, excluded from thought the idea of its marvelous utilitarian properties, but the recent development of electrical science and the far-reaching enterprise of to-day, have now combined to subject to the uses of mankind a portion of the power of the Falls, developed at such a distance from the great cataract as not to interfere in any way with the natural beauty of the scenery. We believe that a careful perusal of these pages, and an examination of the accompanying plans, maps, and illustrations, devoted to a locality full of historic interest, famed for its features of natural grandeur, and destined to have an important bearing upon the manufacturing interests of the country, will richly repay the manufacturer, the capitalist and the workingman.

Download or read book Reports Upon the Existing Water-Power Situation at Niagara Falls, So Far as Concerns the Diversion of Water on the American Side (Classic Reprint) written by American Members of the Inte Commission and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports Upon the Existing Water-Power Situation at Niagara Falls, So Far as Concerns the Diversion of Water on the American Side After a Similar careful examination of all the circumstances relat ing to the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing Com pany, Captain Kutz reaches the conclusion that a permit should be granted that company for the diversion of 43 cubic feet per second, exclusive of the amount required for sluicing, or for cubic feet per second if the water for sluicing be included. The latter is esti mated at 660 cubic feet per second. It seems to us desirable that the permits to the two companies should resemble each other in their provisions for sluicing. If to the cubic feet per second just mentioned there be added 107 cubic feet per second as an average for sluicing, an allowance will be made for the accumulation of water which will provide 660 cubic feet per second for sluicing during one hundred and sixteen and two - thirds hours of each month, or fifty nine days in each year, an allowance which is ample. Under this arrangement the amount to be granted to this company for the use of itself and its tenants would be cubic feet per second.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Falls of Niagara HE Rapids are far from being the least interesting feature of Niagara. There is a violence and a power in their foaming career, which is' seen in no phenomenon of the same class. Standing on the bridge which connects Goat Island with the Main, and looking up towards Lake Erie, the leaping crests of the Rapids form the horizon, and it seems like a battle-charge oi tempestuous waves animated and infuriated against the sky. No one who has not seen this spectacle of turbulent grandeur can conceive with what force the swift and overwhelming waters are ung upwards. The rocks, whose soaring points show above the surface, seem tormented with some supernatural agony, and ing off the wild and hurried waters, as if with the force of a giant's arm. Nearer the plunge of the Fall, the Rapids become still more agitated; and it is almost impossible for the spectator to rid himself of the idea that they are conscious of the abyss to which they are hurrying, and struggle back in the very extremity of horror. This propensity to invest Niagara with a soul and human feelings is a common effect upon the minds of visitors, in every part of its wonderful phenomena. The torture of the Rapids, the clinging curves with which they embrace the small rocky islands that live amid the serge, the sudden calmness at the brow of the cataract, and the infernal writhe and whiteness with which they re-appear, power less from the depths of the abyss, all seem, to the excited imagination of the gazer, like the natural effects of impending ruin, desperate resolution, and fearful agony, 0n the minds and frames of mortals - Nathaniel Parker Willis.
