Could anyone please enlighten me as to the exact meaning of the term 'hutch' in the context of 18th century water power? Also, was the term 'penstock' used at that time for just the trough immediately spilling onto a wheel, or might it be also used for a longer section of raised launder running from the dam to the wheel?
