Excerpt from Engineering and Contracting, Vol. 42: Devoted to the Economics of Civil Engineering Design and to Methods and Costs of Construction, July December, 1914

Regulators - A regulator is a mechanical appliance by which a gate is automatically closed by the rising of a ﬂoat whose motion is controlled by the elevation of the sewage in the intercepter. A typical regulator is shown in Fig. 1.

The use of regulators of this type is open to the objection that frequent attendance is required in order to keep the apparatus in proper working condition. The regulators must be inspected and cleaned at short inter vals, and after each storm must be carefully overhauled, if they are to be depended upon to perform their function.
