The double conduit was built practically as a monolith, but the construction of the single conduit was interrupted, and a horizontal joint was made in its section. Both of these sections were tested under hydraulic pressure, wooden heads being bolted to the ends so that the sections could be filled with water. The single conduit gave way at the horizontal joint under a pressure supposed to be about 15 pounds. the pressure being accidentally applied before the...
