Description: Water wheel running Peirce mill, in Rock Creek Park. This is a breast shot wheel. In the photo, it turns clockwise. Water comes in, and flows down, toward the right. (An overshot wheel would turn counterclockwise, water flowing to the left over the wheel and down, taking advantage of the momentum of the water as well as its weight).
