<strong>Design</strong> <strong>of</strong> A Tater Supply System <strong>for</strong><br />
ing steps:<br />
KushYille <strong>Illinois</strong>.<br />
The desip;n <strong>of</strong> this <strong>system</strong> ^vas accomplished "by the follow-<br />
1st. The field 'vork, plotting <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> streets ana<br />
makinf^ <strong>of</strong> a topographical map <strong>of</strong> the to"m.<br />
2nd. Determination <strong>of</strong> amount and distribution <strong>of</strong> popula-<br />
tion. Determination <strong>of</strong> fir^d supply.<br />
3rd. <strong>Design</strong><strong>of</strong> the DiKtrituting System and location <strong>of</strong><br />
pu' ps and tanks.<br />
4th. <strong>Design</strong> <strong>of</strong> eleTated tank and tower.<br />
5th. <strong>Design</strong> <strong>of</strong> p mips and pump house.<br />
6th. Specifications and estimates. •<br />
Field '^ork.<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> all streets and import-o-nt alleys were made<br />
from elevations taken ever-'- fifty feet on the center line <strong>of</strong><br />
the streets. The pr<strong>of</strong>iles 'vere plotted and a topograplxical<br />
map also made contour lines 'bein;'" plotted <strong>for</strong> every t".vo feot<br />
change <strong>of</strong> elevation.<br />
Distribution <strong>of</strong> Population.<br />
The population ^vas considered in the ratio <strong>of</strong> five people<br />
to everj^ fifty feet <strong>of</strong> frontage. This distribution makes a.<br />
total population <strong>of</strong> ten thousand people •vhich number allovs x'or<br />
a large future growth. Allowing one hundred and ten g.

million one hundred thousand gallons.<br />
f'or the fire supply four i:iydrants will be alio -'od in use<br />
at any one time each hydrant supplying 175 gallons per minute<br />
or 1.55 ca. ft. per second <strong>for</strong> the four l-i;:,''d rants.<br />
<strong>Design</strong> <strong>of</strong> PistriTjutinp; System.<br />
The pumps -'all "be located on the lot adjoining the C. B.<br />
& ^. K. j\. at the west end <strong>of</strong> Ad^aiis street. This is done <strong>for</strong><br />
the sake <strong>of</strong> convenience in getting fuel supplies etc. The el-<br />
evated tank will be "built iirmed lately adjoining the pumps this<br />
being a liigh section <strong>of</strong> the town.<br />
The distributing <strong>system</strong> will be designed to supply tiie<br />
entire domestic supply <strong>for</strong> the day in a period <strong>of</strong> ten hours<br />
"/hich is the period that the pumps will be operated. This is<br />
at the rate <strong>of</strong> 4.08 cu ft per second. No addition -vill be<br />
made <strong>for</strong> the fire supply it being considered thc^t in case <strong>of</strong><br />
necessity the fire supply will be furnished at the expenr-e <strong>of</strong><br />
a domestic supply. No main will be designed, hcvever, to<br />
carry less than the fire supply <strong>of</strong> 1.55 cu ft per second.<br />
The main distributing <strong>system</strong> will be as follovs:<br />
A large main will run east on Adorns street from the punps.<br />
From this Adams street main a main will run-<br />
1st. Soith on Franklin St. , designed to supply the dis-<br />
trict south <strong>of</strong> Adams St. and west <strong>of</strong> Jackson Ct.<br />
2nd. ?:outh on Fonroe St. designed to tupply tjie district<br />
south <strong>of</strong> Adeans St. between Jackson St. and Liberty St.<br />
3rd. South on Morgan St. designed to supply the district<br />

Prom the catalogue if^.sued by the Cameron Steam Puiap<br />
Company a Compound Duplex Pump <strong>of</strong> diameter <strong>of</strong> 14 inches and<br />
stroke <strong>of</strong> 20 inches gave a capacity <strong>of</strong> 1,000 gallons per<br />

A fefid pump <strong>for</strong> tlie boilers and heater <strong>of</strong> si:je 4 l/2" x<br />

The si3e <strong>of</strong> the boiler is determined by finding the<br />
Boiler-Horse Power required and selecting a suitable boiler<br />
giving the required poi'/er. The Boiler- Horse Pow^r is deter-<br />
mined as follows. •.<br />

The pipe v/ill be laid in the order directed by the J'n-<br />

DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION.<br />
Anchor toltj. shall always be provided. In cases where<br />
the wind <strong>for</strong>ce (the tunk b-^inp: empty) produces unstable<br />
ei'^ui'' ibrium, they must be <strong>of</strong> such strength aii to prevent<br />
over-turninp;.<br />
Compression members shall be <strong>of</strong> the open type, no closed<br />
section being used.<br />
Bearing plates <strong>for</strong> distributing pressure ovei- the foun-<br />
dations must be attached in such a ••/ay as to evenly distrib-<br />
ute the load throughout the entire area.<br />
All joints to be made in mciii "po»tii c>.LG"ve, and c^^ neci<br />
ab prcictiuo.! to 3. hori vcntal strut. Splices are to be made<br />
with plates on all sides <strong>of</strong> tiie columns with sufficient<br />
rivetb or bolts, to thoroughly hold tue parts together.<br />
The distance bet "een connections <strong>of</strong> lattice or lacing<br />
bar? to the flange <strong>of</strong> a channel shall not exceed two times<br />
tiie depth <strong>of</strong> the member, nor shall they be inclined to the<br />
axis <strong>of</strong> the same leLS than 45 degrees. The thickness <strong>of</strong> the<br />
lacing bars should not be less than one-sixtieth <strong>of</strong> this<br />
distitnce. Lattice bars shall be riveted at their intersec-<br />
tions. The width <strong>of</strong> the lattice and lacing bars shall not<br />
be less than 2 l/2 times the diameter <strong>of</strong> the rivet ased.<br />

the rivet.<br />
In vork that requires calking the maximum pitch shall<br />
never exceed 10 times the thickness <strong>of</strong> t le t.iinnest plate<br />
used, and shall not be less than three diijmeters <strong>of</strong> the<br />
rivet.<br />
The distance between the edge <strong>of</strong> any piece z.nd the cen-<br />

difflmeter <strong>of</strong> the rivet, except <strong>for</strong> bars less than 3 l/2 times<br />
the diameter <strong>of</strong> the riv-^t in vidth.<br />
^ curved girder must connect the main posts to each<br />
other where the posts connect to the tank. This girder<br />
shall be connected to the tank by means <strong>of</strong> civets pitched<br />
not greater than four diameters, and shall be <strong>of</strong> sufficient<br />
strength to stand the thrust and bending moments induced<br />
by the horjxontaj. component <strong>of</strong> the stress in t'ne posts, and<br />
shall be rigidly connected to the posts. Its outer flange<br />
shall be stiff enough to prevent s.^gging, or must be support-<br />
ed at intervals by means <strong>of</strong> braces to tne tank.<br />
At proper intervals horizontal rods Trora the main posts<br />
shall run out and connect to t.ie inlet pipe to hold the same<br />

between the bearing plate and pieces directly above, the<br />
plate need not be planed. It however must be carefully<br />
straightened.<br />
The dicjneter <strong>of</strong> the pmch shall not exceed by more than<br />
1/I6 <strong>of</strong> .n inch the dicmeter <strong>of</strong> the rivet used. '.11 holes<br />
must be clean cut, ^vithoat torn or ragged edges.<br />
Rivet holes must be accure^tely spac-id. The use <strong>of</strong><br />
drift pins ill only be allo'ved <strong>for</strong> bringing the s^averal<br />
parts together, and they munt not be driven -vith such <strong>for</strong>ce<br />
as to disturb the met 1 a.bout the holes.<br />
The rivets must completely fill the holes, having full<br />
heads concentric with the rivet, <strong>of</strong> a heii^ht not lass than<br />
6/10 the dicimeter <strong>of</strong> the riv t, and shall be in full contact<br />
with tne surface or be counter sunk when so required, ^nd<br />
machine driven "herever practical.<br />
Built metbers must, when finifched, be true and free from<br />
tv/ists, kinks, a.nd open joists between component pieces.<br />
The diameter <strong>of</strong> the hole '.hall be not greater than that <strong>of</strong><br />
the pin by more than l/32 <strong>of</strong> an inch.<br />
All pins Eiust be smooth rmd truly circular. Pilot nuts<br />
must be provided where necessary, to preserve the threads<br />
while pins are dirven. "'''illsrs must be used wherever iieces-<br />
sar„ on pins or bolts.<br />
