Balance lock

The balance lock was a type of lock to transport boats up and down a hillside on a canal.

Boats were to ride in caissons, essentially bathtubs, of water which were to be hauled up and down the hillside by chain, being balanced by another tub of water. It was patented by James Fussell during his work on the Dorset and Somerset Canal.
