Larner–Johnson valve

A Larner–Johnson valve is a mechanism used in dams and water pumping to control the flow of water through large pipes. The valve is suited to handling high velocity flow with minimal turbulence, even when partially open, and the actuating force can be provided by the water flow it is controlling. It was manufactured in the early 20th century by the in the US. The valves are still manufactured in the United Kingdom by Blackhall Engineering Ltd. These valves have been constructed in sizes up to 21 feet (6.4 m) diameter and controlling a hydraulic head of 1,000 feet (300 m).
