In today's over-managed, brain-numbing TV world we see so many bland, repetitive and totally boring things. I enjoy images, of whatever nature, that can stimulate the curiosity to some degree. I enjoyed yours, in answer to your question.


Thank you very much Tinker.

Based on what I know about locks in this country, the doors that open and close the locks do not close straight across the lock. They form a "V" when closed which points up stream so that water flowing down stream forces them together tighter. That may be what they are referring to as convex (although that refers to a rounded surface which would be much more difficult to build) "Cheeks" may refer to each door. What puzzles me is that there appears to be double locks back to back here which would mean that there is very little elevation between the locks. Locks are expensive to build and one would think they would build just one with greater lift. One might ask, if the water forces the doors closed tigher, how do they open them? Weirs, a little door near the bottom on each "cheek" which lets the water through until the levels inside and upstream of the lock are the same level. Then the doors open easily with those large booms shown on either side of the lock.
