Ground paddle gear at Delph Locks No 6, Brierley Hill
By use of a right-angled metal tool called a windlass, the gear which is attached to an underground paddle by a steel rod below the ratchet, can be raised, allowing water through a culvert into the lock. This flow ceases when the level is the same in the lock chamber as it is in the canal to the right of the gate, which can then be (quite) easily swung open by pushing the balance beam (off to the right). The paddle can then be lowered carefully (NOT DROPPED!)

Overflow channel by Delph Locks No 5 near Brierley Hill
There are short wide pounds between each lock and sideponds which help in the water management. On the right as you look south-west, broad weirs by locks 2 to 7 allow surplus water to cascade down into the next pound in the manner of a waterfall.

On the Dudley No 1 Canal, eight locks in the Delph flight provide a fall (or rise) of 85 feet (just under 26 metres) on the Dudley No 1 Canal near Brierley Hill. Originally there were nine locks, opened in 1779, but in the mid 1850s the course was adjusted and the flight rebuilt as eight locks, just the top and bottom ones now being in their original positions. The new flight opened in 1858.

Lock cill in the Delph flight near Brierley Hill
This is at Delph Locks No 5.
When draining the lock to descend, boat crews MUST keep the rear of the boat forward of the stone cill. Failure to do this can result in the stern catching it, the bow dipping, and possible sinking of the boat. White markers are painted on the side of all locks to assist.
