 as 600 ft. of delivery hose can be forced through. Heathman's 

 Platform Fire-Engine No. i worked by 2 to 4 persons and 

 discharging about 2,000 gallons of water per hour over a 

 height of 60 ft. is priced 12 10 6. Heathman's* 

 Truck-Force-Pump which can be moved about from place to 

 place, and worked by one man, pumps up about 500 gallons 

 of water or liquid manure, per hour. This pump is also used 

 as a fire-engine. Its price with 10 feet of Suction-hose and 

 2 feet of Discharge-hose and spray fan and nozzle complete, 

 is no shillings for a 3-inch pump and 100 shillings for a 2\- 

 inch pump.
