This one's at the Museum of Technology, Cambridge. Thanks to Marcus Simms for the photos. Markings: "UNICEF DPHE" on the barrel and on the cap. "UMI 80 6" also on the barrel. Manufacturer: DPHE = Dept of Public Health Engineering, of Bangladesh, and a bit of Googling will show identical pumps in operation in that country. How this pump found its way to the museum is anybody's guess.
