Show 313 I mean if in each year for twenty years you find a bar at approximately the same place, is not the channel likely to be approximately in the same place? A No, sir. Q It is not? That is what I wanted to get at. A You see, it depends again on the different types of bars. I say that, with the crossing bar, in all probability the channel would be at the same place. Q That is, the channel may cross the bar at any point, although the bar may always be there? A The bar may always be there. Q That would be true at to the crossing bar? A That would be so as to the crossing bar. Q But many of these other types of bar, for instance, the Butterfly Bar, which is a bar the length of the river, where the channel is on both sides-- and the channel appears on both sides in 1909 and 1928-- the only difference being that would be a stable bar and a stable channel, would it not/ A That particular bar the violates any law of ordinary bars in a river, in that it is the outside of a bend, which receives the direct force of the current-- Q That is what I mean. As I understand your testimony, a stable bar and a stable channel do not necessarily go together, but very according to the type of bar. 2276 |
