Excerpt from Test of a Thirty Inch Samson Turbine
The careful test of any waterwheel or turbine is of great interest but such tests are difficult to make on installed plants. To run a test of any commercial value a well equipped laboratory is almost necessary, for the water flow must be regulated carefully and exactly, The wheel must be kept clear of sticks, etc., which would interfere with its temporary efficiency and an accurate weir and measuring apparatus must be installed and gauged. From this it can be seen that it is practically impossible to make any valuable teet2.
