side door overshot quotation

Fresno Valves & Castings manufactures several standard sizes of hand-pull or stop gates. An extruded metal section embeds in the side walls or is mounted on the face of the rectangular flume or onduit and acts as a guide for the gate slide. The gate consists of an aluminum plate reinforced if necessary with hand holes for manual opening of the gate.

Overshot gates (also known as pivoting weir gates) are used to control upstream water levels. Versatility, efficiency, and safety are the primary reasons the Fresno Overshot Gate is the method of choice for municipal, agricultural, and industrial canal water control.

Radial gates (also known as Tainter gates) have a large convex surface which dams the upstream flow of water. The gate is supported by radial arms attached at either side that are mounted to trunnions which allow the gate to pivot up and down. This design allows economical construction and operation of gates which need to control the flow of water in large openings.

The Series 6400 Sluice Gates are designed for use in controlling flow through round opening with heads up to 20ft. on the front side and up to 10 ft. on the back. Flat Back models are mounted to concrete headwalls, or machined to match standard flanges. Spigot Back models are for mounting to corrugated pipe.

The ovens are expected to run under a slight positive pressure. It is expected that the area immediately around the doors and at truck track seals will run hotter than the rest of the oven walls. There should be minimal heat leaking around the doors unless the door gaskets have deteriorated or the doors are damaged.

Door seal can be checked by closing a piece of paper between the gasket and oven face to make sure the gasket is touching the face of the oven. There should be resistance to pulling out the paper all around the perimeter of the doors. Doors can be adjusted at the hinges or by adjusting catch standoffs. Check to make sure that the oven is level and on a firm floor. To some extent the oven will form fit to the floor resulting in a warped oven face that is hard to seal to. If the top corners at the gap between double doors do not line up, the oven is not level. The oven should be shimmed to correct this.

Operating an oven under negative pressure will cause colds spots where room air is pulled in around the door seals. Oven negative pressure can be caused by the room where the oven is located being under negative pressure. This results in the room pulling air down the oven exhaust stack, through the oven and hot air into the room.

“Heel Drive A termed used by coaches to inform the gymnasts they want them to drive their heels harder up and over on the front side of a handspring vault or front handspring on floor. Stronger heel drives create more rotation and potential for block and power. Hecht Mount A mount where the gymnast jumps off a spring board while keeping their arms straight, pushes off of the low bar, and catches the high bar. Inverted Cross Performed by men on the rings, it is an upside down cross. Iron Cross A strength move performed by men on the rings. The gymnast holds the rings straight out on either side of their body while holding themselves up. Arms are perpendicular to the body. Jaeger Performed on bars, a gymnast swings from a front Giant and lets go of the bar, into a front flip and catches the bar again. Jaeger can be done in the straddle, pike, and layout position, and is occasionally performed in a tucked position. Kip The most commonly used mount for bars, the gymnast glides forward, pulls their feet to the bar, then pushes up to front support, resting their hips on the bar. Layout A stretched body position.”

[…] but before we could get to the place, where our planters were left, it was so exceeding darke, that we overshot the place a quarter of a mile: there we espied towards the North end of the Iland the light of a great fire thorow the woods, to the which we presently rowed: when wee came right over against it, we let fall our Grapnel neere the shore, & sounded with a trumpet a Call, & afterwardes many familiar English tunes of Songs, and called to them friendly; but we had no answere, we therefore landed at day-breake, and comming to the fire, we found the grasse & sundry rotten trees burning about the place. From hence we went thorow the woods to that part of the Iland directly over against Dasamongwepeuk, & from thence we returned by the water side, round about the Northpoint of the Iland, untill we came to the place where I left our Colony in the yeere 1586. In all this way we saw in the sand the print of the Salvages feet of 2 or 3 sorts troaden that night, and as we entred up the sandy banke upon a tree, in the very browe thereof were curiously carved these faire Romane letters CRO: which letters presently we knew to signifie the place, where I should find the planters seated, according to a secret token agreed upon betweene them & me at my last departure from them, which was, that in any wayes they should not faile to write or carve on the trees or posts of the dores the name of the place where they should be seated; for at my comming away they were prepared to remove from Roanoak 50 miles to the maine. Therefore at my departure from them in Anno 1587 I willed them, that if they should happen to be distressed in any of those places, that then they should carve over the letters or name, a Crosse ✠ in this forme, but we found no such signe of distresse. And having well considered of this, we passed toward the place

where they were left in sundry houses, but we found the houses taken downe, and the place very strongly enclosed with a high palisado of great trees, with cortynes and flankers very Fort-like, and one of the chiefe trees or postes at the right side of the entrance had the barke taken off, and 5. foote from the ground in fayre Capitall letters was graven CROATOAN without any crosse or signe of distresse; this done, we entred into the palisado, where we found many barres of Iron, two pigges of Lead, foure yron fowlers, Iron sacker-shotte, and such like heavie things, throwen here and there, almost overgrowen with grasse and weedes. From thence wee went along by the water side, towards the poynt of the Creeke to see if we could find any of their botes or Pinnisse, but we could perceive no signe of them, nor any of the last Falkons and small Ordinance which were left with them, at my departure from them. At our returne from the Creeke, some of our Saylers meeting us, tolde us that they had found where divers chests had bene hidden, and long sithence digged up againe and broken up, and much of the goods in them spoyled and scattered about, but nothing left, of such things as the Savages knew any use of, undefaced. Presently Captaine Cooke and I went to the place, which was in the ende of an olde trench, made two yeeres past by Captaine Amadas: wheere wee found five Chests, that had been carefully hidden of the Planters, and of the same chests, three were my owne, and about the place many of my things spoyled and broken, and my books torne from the covers, the frames of some of my pictures and Mappes rotten and spoyled with rayne, and my armour almost eaten through with rust; this could bee no other but the deede of the Savages our enemies at Dasamongwepeuk, who had watched the departure of our men to Croatoan; and assoone as they were departed, digged up every place where they suspected any thing to be buried: but although it much grieved me to see such spoyle of my goods, yet on the other side I greatly joyed that I had safely found a certaine token of their safe being at Croatoan, which is the place where Manteo was borne, and the Savages of the Iland our friends.
