Photograph of penstock during construction on hillside in the Twelve Mile area of the Twelve Mile Ditch system. Penstocks, also known as header boxes, connected a flume to a pipe or it connected wood stave pipe to steel pipe, which was used to siphon water through a valley from one hillside to another. See 1984.234.176, same penstock from a different angle earlier in construction.
