Holt Lock will be 110 ft wide, 670 ft long, and will provide maximum lift of 63.6 ft; tests were conducted in 1 to 25-scale model of filling and emptying system to determine its adequacy and relative merits of interlaced and split floor lateral arrangements; tests also were conducted in 1 to 15-scale model of one of 12.5× 12. 5-ft culvert valves to develop optimum valve design from standpoint of loads on valve hoisting mechanism; lock filling and emptying system will consist of single port intakes and outlets in river side of riverwall, longitudinal culvert in each wall, and interlaced floor laterals in lock chamber.
