Among the most interesting exhibits in the Swiss section of the Centennial Exhibition, at least to engineers, was the graphic chart of Ganguillet and Kutter for computing the discharge of rivers and canals. An account of the investigations of the above named engineers appeared in the Cultur Ingenieur in 1870, and has been translated into French, Dutch, Italian, and more recently, into English, by Jackson. The derivation of their formula, however, is not given in the before named article, but was published in 1869, in the Zeitschrift des Oesterreichischer Ingenieur und Architekten-rereins, Austria, in a treatise entitled “Versuch für die Aufstellung einer neuen Formel für die Bewegung des Wassers in Canälen und regelmässigen Fluss-strecken.”
