VIKING PUMPS 



Keep Power Bills Down 



wherever water to be lifted stands within suction limit of the Dump, the Viking 

 will deliver It to any desired point more economically than any pump we know ot. 



The Viking converts (»ver 60 per cent of the power applied into useful work. Some 

 pumps use only 30 per cent; some use 40 per cent, but the Viking utilizes over 60 

 per cent on all average installations; in other words, it wastes less power. 



The high efficiency of the Viking is due to the Rotary Principle of Design — every 

 revolution of the Viking draws In a definite quantity of water, passes It through 

 the pump and forces it out the discharge — no churning of water in pump casing — no 

 unnecessary waste of power. 



The Viking is a simple, slow speed pump, easy to Install. No foot valve or priming 

 pump required on low lifts. Built in the following sizes: 10, 20, 35, 90, 300, 450, 

 1050, gallons a minute. 



Our Engineering Department will gladly recommend the correct size and 



type ot pump to meet your requirements — no charge for this service.
