B & W digital scan of Man looking over LA Aqueduct Siphon in Exposed Trench, location unknown.
"The most satisfactory results were obtained on the Aqueduct by laying the pipe in a shallow trench that supports about one-third of the bottom circumference of the pipe. This can be best done on gental slopes where the soil conditions are favorable." --from LA Aqueduct Construction, Final Report, 1916. pg.199Collection
