1JEFFERY'S IMPROVED DOUBLE-ACTING SUCTION AND FORCE PUMP, WITH INDIA RUBBER BALL VALVES.
3AWARDED THE FIRST PREMIUM AT THE
5NEW YORK STATE FAIR HELD AT Elmira, 1855
7The Proprietors in introducing this new Pump to the Public, feel a confidence that their efforts to bring it into general use, will be seconded by all, who see its construction and operation. The perfect adaptation of solid Balls of India Rubber for pump valves, will at once be apparent to every thinking mind.
9Their imperviousness to water, and their yielding surfaces secure a certainty of operation, and a perfection of action, which cannot be attained by the use of any other valves. The simplicity of arrangement—the facility with which the parts can be removed, and replaced—the compact form, and unique appearance, render this one the most perfect and desirable Pump in use.
11Among the many advantages secured by the use of this Pump, the following may be enumerated.
121.—A double action, by which twice the water can be raised at the same time.
132.—Great ease in working, thus adapting the Force Principle to common wells.
143.—The transformation, in a moment, of the Pump into an efficient FIRE ENGINE, thus rendering the loss of dwellings by fire, totally unnecessary.
154.—Capability of watering Gardens, Lawns, &c., or sprinkling Walks, or washing Windows, with the utmost ease and thoroughness.
165.—Power to raise water with slight labor, to any reasonable height, as in supplying chambers, &c.
176.—The convenience of having the Pump in a kitchen, or other rooms of your dwelling, without regard to the location of the Well, or Cistern.
187.—The easy protection of the instrument against FROST.
198.—The ease with which it may be mounted on wheels, or in other ways made PORTABLE.
209.—A simplicity which ensures great durability, protects it from being thrown out of order, and makes any repairs easy and of little cost: and secures,
2110.—Great CHEAPNESS: for the first time bringing the cost of the Force Pump into the neighborhood of the common Suction and Chain Pumps, while it is immeasurably superior to both.
