Excerpt from Hydraulic Turbines: With a Chapter on Centrifugal Pumps
The undershot water wheel was produced from the current wheel by confining the channel so that the water could not escape under or around the ends of the vanes. This form of wheel was capable of an efficiency of 30 per cent. And was in wide use up to about 1800.
