Lock gates. (...) Vertical gates, counterweighted and lifted by winch or other gearing mounted on an overhead gantry, can operate against water pressure; as the gate leaves the sill, water enters the chamber, supplementing or replacing the culvert supply. The turbulence is more difficult to control and the overhead gantries impose restrictions on masts and other superstructure of a vessel. 3, record 1, English, - vertical%20gate
