The machine is equipped with a pipe for injecting live steam that is capable of raising the temperature of water at an eight-inch level from 110-degrees to 140-degrees-F ( 38*0 to 60*0C. ) in less than two minutes.

It is equipped with an outside water gauge that will indicate the level of the water in the wheel.

Immediately add water at 100 - 105-degrees-F ( 38 - 43*0C. ) to the wheel to a level of Af inches ; ;

When this water level has been reached, inject steam into the wheel until the temperature reaches that shown in Column B of Table 2.

Refill the machine to a level of Af inches with water at 100 - 109-degrees-F ( ( 38 - 43*0 C. ) and start the machine.

Refill the machine to a level of Af inches with water at 100 - 109-degrees-F ( 38 - 43*0C. ).

When this water level has been reached, inject steam until the temperature is that shown in Column Aj.

Immediately refill to a level of Af inches with water at 100 - 109-degrees-F ( 38 - 43*0C ).

It rose to a height of 138 feet above the Yangtze, but environmental and technical factors left it with chronic water shortages until it was re-engineered in 1411 by Song Li of the Ming.
