Gasometers 2

[L17Aurora]

Can anyone point me to the joint design of the old (British) gasometer. The telescopic type that rose or fell with gas content. Where they some sort of water trough. Has anyone any sectional pictures.
Cheers
Mick

See page 259 of attached for a detailed diagram and description of the hydraulic joint of a telescoping gas holder.

vzeos,

What a fascinating book. My home town has dozens of telescopic gas holders, and while I've always been aware of roughly how they work that has added a lot of detail. Thanks.
