Hydraulic Rams. 



To most people a hydraulic ram 

 is a mystery. As a matter of fact 

 it is the most simple and efficient 

 mechanical device for raising water 

 by water power. This is probably 

 what makes it seem so mysterious 



to those who have never seen a 

 ram at work. 



Pumping water by hydraulic ram 

 makes a water supply system far 

 superior to any other except a 

 gravity system. In some instances 

 it is even better than gravity in 

 matter of expense when gravity 



supply requires a long line of pipe. 

 Hydraulic rams are not only 

 adaptable for pumping water for 

 household purposes, but they can 

 be used for delivering large quan- 

 tities of water for irrigation, town 

 water works, railroad tanks, etc.
