There is evidence that the Egyptians used weirs for measurement of irrigation water flows in the days of the Pharaohs and that the Romans used orifices to meter water to households in Caesar s time. In the 18th century, Bernoulli established the basic relationship between the pressure head and velocity head, and Venturi published on the flow tube bearing his name.

But what of the ones buried in the ground beneath our feet men and women, soldiers and maidservants, ancient dames and children, and newborn babes barely blessed before they cried their last Their bodies lay there, it was said, awaiting Judgment Day.
