skirmett, 2015 An unusual design at Skirmett, Bucks. There's a stopcock on one side, and in all probability a flange on the other side, designed to take a delivery pipe. The air vessel has a small plug near the top; with this plug in place the air vessel could perform its intended smoothing of the water flow out via the delivery pipe, but with it removed a pulsing flow of water could be achieved at a higher volume via the stopcock. Thanks to Mike Woolford for the photo.

Markings: None visible.

Manufacturer: Unk.
