As Cool as a Cool Thing

Wooden forms were used in the construction of the Delaware Aqueduct to shape the concrete lining of the tunnel as it was poured. This wooden form was used to mold the gooseneck shape that connected the Rondout Reservoir effluent chamber (water leaving the reservoir), to the connecting tunnel which led to the first shaft of the Delaware Aqueduct. September 1941

Anyone got any good pictures from the construction of the Galloway Hydro schemes - there used to be a brilliant test board of sample nuts and bolts left out in the weather at Clatteringshaws
