   • 1918, Jay Manuel Whitham, Water Rights Determination: From an Engineering Standpoint, page 125:

     Another early modification of the rouet consisted in placing the runner in a spiral case as shown in Plate III ( g ).

   • 1922, Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, page 1303:

     The early American inward flow wheels were, however, but a modified form of the central discharge wheel which, in turn, was evolved from the rouet.
