The small concrete building at 0:09 in the video is a stilling well for measuring the river flow. At 0:15 the cable car is used to measure river flows above 1,000 cubic feet per second.
Many years ago I spent some wet hours in that car cranking up and down on a 75 or 100 pound torpedo weight with a water flow velocity device attached measuring stream flows. Besides our notes, written in pencil on waterproof paper, our most important tool was a heavy wire cutter to cut the cable holding the torpedo weight if a large tree caught it and pulled the trolly car almost horizontal.
Thanks for the happy memories.
