Automatic Tracking Device for Visual Accumulation Tube Analysis

Abstract

This report discusses the construction and operation of an automatic tracking device for following the level of sediment in the visual accumulation tube in sedimentation analyses of sands. The device consists of a light beam and photocell tracking assembly which is attached to the recorder mechanism of the apparatus described in Report K, Operator's Manual on the Visual Accumulation Tube Method for Sedimentation Analysis of Sands, prepared by the Subcommittee on Sedimentation of the Inter-Agency Committee on Water Resources.
