A photo album produced by J. Hopkinson and Co sometime prior to 1908 and showing the flow of fluids through various different shape of openings. The images show the venturi effect and how the flow of fluid through enclosures is not disrupted. This appears to have been produced to illustrate the effectiveness of the Hopkinson-Ferranti stop valve, which made use of the venturi effect to produce a vale with a smaller working area that was therefore easier operate.
