Existing examples of early 19th-century water turbines are so rare that their number can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Only three Scotch turbines- first patented in the 1840s-are known to exist in the United States. Surviving mills of earlier date will inevitably be powered either by water wheels or these mills will have had their antique wheels replaced by turbines of the later- 19th or early-20th century. This acute shortage of extant early hydromachinery is the principal reason why the technological history of the water motor remains obscure and relatively poorly documented.
