This one, under a tiled octagonal brick-built shelter in the
middle of the green at Ardeley, Herts, is a bit unusual. The flywheel is
connected to a single throw crank via a 4:1 gearing mechanism, and below this
is what I can only guess is a counterweight - although how it is connected is
not obvious from the photo. Markings: Unk. Manufacturer: Unk. |

The wellhouse and pump at Shaw's Corner, Ayot St. Lawrence. The
house was built in 1902 as the New Rectory, but let to George Bernard Shaw and
his wife Charlotte Shaw from 1906. After 14 years of living there, they finally
bought the house, and many of his famous plays were written in a revolving hut
in the garden. The pump flywheel drives a double-throw crank via a gearing
mechanism. Markings: Unk. Manufacturer: Unk. |
