PUMPS 



The substitution of galvanized and metal pumps for wooden 

 ones has reduced the demand for wood to only a small portion of 

 what formerly was used in this line of manufacturing 1 . The kinds 

 of pumps manufactured are well, cistern and barrel pumps. Five 

 woods were called for in their making, yellow poplar supplying more 

 than one-half or 59.65 percent. This is one of the few woods that is 

 suitable for the liquor logs. Cucumber, similar to it, is probably 

 most largely used, but not reported in Ohio. The compact fibre of 

 these woods, the straight grain, and their quality of softness enable 

 them to be bored easily, and not being as heavy as other woods are 

 more desirable when hung in place in the well. For barrel pumps 

 poplar was the only material reported, but its exact use was not 

 mentioned. Shortleaf pine, cypress and white pine were made into 

 pump boxes for chain and bucket pumps. For well pump stocks, 

 cotton gum or tupelo was the principal wood and for pump poles, 

 longleaf pine. Pump handles made from hickory, ash and maple 

 have been referred to under the handle industry.
