I took my hydraulics students on a tour of this machine last year... can't wait to go again next month.<br />These pics are of the bowels of the lock, the rams etc. - for an overview of how the locks work, you may visit http://collections.ic.gc.ca/waterway/ov_eng_i/o_liftlo.htm <br /><br />my photo gallery of the working of this giant is here:<br /> http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s3ssg3/album?.dir=6866&.src=ph <br /><br />nothing like being in the wells, when they lower the tub over you.... and then you hear twin 454's starting up over your head :)
