Report of Judges on Pumps, etc. 91 



Tlio ex]iil)itors claim for this pump " adaptal)ility " inasmuch as it 

 may l)e stationarv or sccuixmI tu a plAiik and ho portahle, and used as 

 a house and ship pump ; '' durahility," a hrass cylinder being used, 

 " efficiency," '' simplicity," " cheapness." Upon an examination and 

 trial of the pump, we lind that it possesses many excellent features, 

 and recommend that its exhibitors be awarded a first premium for 

 the Ijest house pump. 



Xo. CA?>. Force Fuwj\—J. D. West & Co., Ts^ew York city. 



This pump is very efficient in its action, simple in construction, 

 and well guarded against danger from freezing, but we regard the 

 one (No. 170), for which we have recommended a first premium as 

 more justly entitled to the same. 



Xo. S<»2. 0/ic Deep Well Pump, one Self-acting Pressure Pumpj. 

 — Thomas Hanson, jSTew York city. 



These pumps were not in operation, and we were unable to dis- 

 cover in them any (puilities of marked excellence. 



Xo. OlS. One Large Lever Porcing Punq>. — John P. Gruber, Xew 

 York city. 



This is a double acting force and lift pump, two cylinders are 

 employed. We were not favorably impressed either with the con- 

 struction or operation of this pump. 



Xo. 335. T/ie Union Pun^p. — Andrew Fitzpatrick, jS^ew York city. 



This device though entered under the title of pumps, appears to pos- 

 sess no novelty, except as to the mechanism employed for operating 

 the pump piston. This mechanism consists in a combination of hand 

 and toggle levers whereb_y great power is obtained. Such mechanism 

 may be highly useful to operate an air pump where the load increases 

 toward the completion of the stroke ; liut this feature is not neces- 

 sai-y in an apparatus for pum])ing water, which, if well made, would 

 have a sul)stantially constant load throughout the stroke. 



Xo. 658. One L^errce Pmnp ; tivo Barrel Purnp)s ; one Well Lh(?np. 

 — Emery Kotary Machine Company, New York city. 



These are pumps of a novel and ingenious construction, and they 

 operate efficiently. We recommend that these exhibitors he awarded 

 a first i)remium for the best rotary pumps for domestic use. 



No. 332. Mei/'<politan (jarden L^urnp. — Jules Clieron, New York 

 city. 



This is a most convenient and desirable apparatus. It consists of 

 a cylindrical reservoir or taidc mounted on wheels to which is applied 

 a force pump. The device is designed to carry its own supply of
