A lift and
force pump at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, nr Holywood, Co. Down,
supplying both a stopcock and a (plastic) delivery pipe - which suggests that
it is in working order. The pump is fitted with a feed-through air vessel to
even out the flow of water, and also features a chained drinking cup. The
function of a small metal peg with a looped end
which seems to impinge upon the fulcrum is a puzzle. Markings: None visible. Manufacturer: Unk. |
