On these lock flights apart from the top and bottom locks there are two paddles. A white one at the bottom of the lock which empties the lock into the side pond/pound and a red one which fills the lock from the side pond/pound. Basically before you empty lock 1 going down, you draw the red paddle to fill lock 2, the water from lock one is then let out into the side pond/pound to replace the water used to fill lock 2. -- Brian traveling on Harnser http://nbharnser.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
