This report presents data obtained during prototype tests concerned with the performance of the 110- by 800-ft lock at Barkley Lock and Dam project, Cumberland River, Kentucky. Prototype measurements are continuous records of the following: (a) pressures at 22 locations in the lock culvert system; (b) valve opening patterns; (c) valve leaf pressures and accelerations; (d) water-surface oscillations and elevation; (e) hawser forces and motion of a nine-barge tow moored in the lock; (f) valve-hoist strains and cylinder pressures; (g) miter gate opening; and (h) air-vent flow rates.
