The
remains of a triple-throw pump at a pumphouse at Keele University, where it
used to be driven by an overshot waterwheel via a gearing arrangement. The
barrels are now missing, but an air vessel is still in
place. Markings: The frame carries the name "W.G.COWLISHAW.1877" Manufacturer: Unk, but W. G. Cowlishaw co-wrote a book in the late 1800s with a Mr. Woodworth, entitled "The Woodworth System of Progressive and Automatic Cut-Off Gear for Winding Engines". |
