B & W digital scan of South end of the Jawbone Canyon Siphon under construction along the LA Aqueduct, Jawbone Division. White buildings in background may be equipment or machine shops to support Siphon construction. "The Jawbone siphon, although not the longest, or the greatest in diameter, operates under the greatest head. It is located near the center of the Jawbone Division. It is 7096 feet long and operates under a maximum pressure of 365 pounds per square inch. The 850' hydraulic drop was the largest of all the siphons constructed."
