Abstract
This paper deals with modern trends in the design of hydraulic turbines in Europe, especially in so far as they differ from standard American practice. The paper describes and discusses the general arrangement of large hydrounits, the use of high-grade alloys, the efficiency tests of large turbines, various improvements in speed regulation, and departures from accepted practice in the field of gates and valves.
