129.— Diagrams of Impulse Wheels Use of Water Wheels. 243 tat make them of only general interest in the study of water power. While gravity wheels are still occasionally used their application is entirely to the smaller water power plants. In many cases the turbines purchased for such installations are of cheaper make, Poorly designed, constructed and selected, and often improperly set itid, consequently, inefficient. In such cases, and where the ques- ion of back water and the interference of ...ice is not important, the ISO.— **OrerrBhot'* Water Wlie#L Manufactured by Fitz Water Wheel Co, ^vity wheel may be more efficient and quite satisfactory. Well %ned and well constructed gravity wheels are said to give effi- Dcies of 85 per cent, and above, (See Frontispiece and Fig. ). With such plants the engineer has usually little to do and sequently they will not be further considered here. The types [wheels now mc^t largely used for moderate and large water rer developments are the reaction and impulse turbines.
