The spillway is part of the central section of the main dam. It has six gated bays, each 50 feet wide. Six radial arm gates (tainter gates) control spillway discharge. Each radial arm gate is 50 feet wide by 25.24 feet high.  3, record 1, English, - tainter%20gate

The water pressure against the gate is concentrated in the axis; this arrangement reduces friction in raising and lowering the gate. A seal is placed along the sides and bottom of the gate face for watertightness. The gate is raised and lowered by winches or hoists attached to cables or chains fastened to the bottom edge of the gate and lying against its water face; this allows a vertical lifting force to be applied. It can be closed under its own weight.  4, record 1, English, - tainter%20gate

A crest gate used in connection with very large openings in hydraulic structures, such as spillways on dams, carried by a set of rollers which travel vertically in grooves in masonry piers and are independent of the gate and piers. The gate moves vertically by rolling along the rollers; this eliminates friction due to water pressure to a great extent, and reduces the power required to open and close the gate.  2, record 5, English, - Stoney%20gate

A movable crest gate in the form of a sector of a circle hinged at the apex. The arc face effects a water seal with the edge of a recess into which the gate may be lowered. The gate is raised and held up by the pressure of water admitted to the recess from the headwater. It is lowered by closing the inlet port to the recess and draining the water from it.  2, record 7, English, - drum%20gate

Vanne mobile et creuse, en tôle, dont la section a la forme d'un secteur de cercle articulé au centre de ce cercle. La face cylindrique forme un joint étanche avec le bord d'une fosse dans laquelle la vanne peut être abaissée. La vanne est relevée et maintenue en position par la pression de l'eau qu'on laisse entrer de l'amont dans la fosse. Pour l'abaisser, on ferme l'orifice d'entrée dans la fosse et on laisse échapper l'eau qui s'y trouve.  1, record 7, French, - vanne%20%C3%A0%20secteur
