You Can Solve The Most Difficult 



Pumping Conditions With 



"American Centrifugals" 



T 



1HE reason why American centrifugals are n ost economical in the widest range of pumping 

 service is that they are designed for special requirements each type for a specific use 

 instead of attempting lo adap^ all condition'; to a single style or type of pump. 



Here is an illustration of Type P centrifugal which is especially designed for pumping 

 water containing a large amount of sand and grit such as is found in many drainage and irri- 

 gation conditions. 



In the Type P centrifugal the bearings are made very wide and entirely 'removed from the 

 volute chamber. 



The shaft is carried on a two- ring oiler bearing .and the bearing is provided with removable 

 split liners. A roller thrust bearing is placed between the supporting bearings, entirely enclosed 

 from dust and so designed that the rollers dip in oil contained in the oil -cellar, maintaining a 

 constant and perfect lubrication. 



Perfect alignment is maintained because the end thrust is taken care of entirely within 

 the solid cast bearing. 



The gland of the pump is water-sealed and provided with drip pocket so that any leakage is 

 piped to drain without possibility of reaching the bearings. 



The great rigidity of this pump, together with its perfect bearings, end.thrurt balance, and 

 having all bearings removed from the liquid pumped enables it to handle water containing sand 

 and grit more successfully than any other make or type of centrifugal. It is designed for heads 

 up to 125 feet. 



If you have any kind of a v pumping problem let us show you that we 

 have a pump among our over'50 types of centrifugals which will prove more 

 economical than any other f6r your requirement. Catalog by first mail
