There are 1110 channels at Gatun,
lone for traffic in each direction. The
channels are separated by a center ' '
wall, the total length of which is 11 33111
feet. There are two systems otl ,

ever, refers only to the outer “silo.
i For the canton wall, there is only one
lrcturn track in common for both the ‘
toning tracks The towing tracks are
Inaturally placed next to the channel
side and the system of towing utilizes
normally not less than four locomo-
then running along the lock walls.
Two of them are opposite each other 1
in advance of the vessel, and two run
opposite each other following the res-l
