1907 Bacterial sewage purification, also the Fiddian rotary distributor. (See William Fiddian) Installed three “Fiddian” sewage distributors, each 63 feet in diameter, at Bushbury, near Wolverhampton. The depth of each filter was 4 1/2 feet, the sewage at this place being very concentrated. 'The sprinklers were supplied by Birch, Killon & Company, Manchester, and it is claimed that they are perfectly automatic even in a strong wind, and will sprinkle evenly any varying rate of flow without special dosing apparatus, and, however small the rate, liquid never falls on the filter without the distributor moving onwards. The sprinkling is accomplished by means of the revolving water wheel, so that small holes are entirely dispensed with and consequent choking up, the even sprinkling in very small doses enabling shallow filters of finer material to be employed with a saving in cost and working head.'
