TROLLHATTAN

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 301 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TROLLHATTAN , a town of
Sweden
  in the
district
  (kin) of Elfsborg, 45 M. by
rail
  N. by E. of Gothenburg. Pop. 6000. It lies on the left (
east
 ) bank of the Gota at the point where that river descends 1o8 ft. in the course of nearly a mile by the famous falls of Trollhattan (six in number) and several rapids. The scenic setting of the falls is not striking, but the
great
  volume of water, nearly 18,000 cub. ft. per second, renders them most imposing. The narrowed river here surrounds several islands, on either side of one of which (Toppo) are the first falls of the
series
 , Toppo and Tjuf. These are 42 ft. in height. The water-
power
  is used in
rolling
 -mills, a cellulose factory and other works.
Several " giant's caldrons " are seen in the exposed bed of a former channel. Below the falls are valuable salmon fisheries. To the
east
  of the river the Berg canal,
part
  of the Gota canal
system
 , ascends in a
series
  of eleven new locks (Akersvass) completed in 1844. An old series of locks (r800) is in use for small vessels. There are also ruins of an abortive attempt made to lock the falls in 1755. (See GoTA.)
