| Title |
Steam or Water Power?: Thomas C. Keefer and the Engineers Discuss the Montreal Waterworks in 1852
|
| Abstract |
Thomas Coltrin Keefer’s 1852 proposal for the Montreal waterworks transformed the city’s aspiration to profit from its situation on the St. Lawrence River for both water supply and water power into a technological possibility. Keefer (1821-1915) proposed the double use of the Lachine Canal to secure an upstream source of pure water and provide the system with hydraulic power.
