Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Brentford Gauging Locks The top gates with the Toll Office in the background. Craft would be gauged while passing through the lock to assess the toll on their cargo. At some point in its life each boat would have its freeboard measured with known weights of load. This would then allow a full and empty entry to be made in a register; on subsequent visits a measurement of freeboard would enable the weight of cargo on that run to be calculated. |
