try the Corps of Engs and the CG, and ask for the defintion of a "lock" as to
function, and then the definition of a "gate" as to function. of course, to Lunnies, it is made of green cheese. geesh, guys. the damned thing is open most of the time and often is not closed at all for extended periods of time. go down there and watch the frickin' water flow **IN**to Peconic Bay (because the damned gate is not closed) and then **OUT** to Hampton Bay (because that is the way it is supposed to work and then **IN**to Peconic ....

The difference is I know the difference. Check this out, http://www.boatli.org/locks.htm They say it's a lock http://www.town.southampton.ny.us/about.ihtml The town says it's a lock http://www.history.rochester.edu/can...06/Chap12.html This history book says it's a lock and gives the size The locks to be 22 feet wide, and 90 feet long between gates. . . . http://www.americancanals.org/progress.htm And of course the American Canal Organization says it's a lock and they might have some experience at this. I found many more references that say it's a lock and did not find one that said it's a gate. So I would say that if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it might just be a duck. All the best, Robert Gainer |
