Pumps By Philip R Bjorling

• It is with pleasure, therefore, that the Author submits this book, trusting that the information given will supply the requirement, at least to some extent.
• Most of the illustrations are from actual practice, and are drawn to scale. Dimensions are given where possible.
• Valves are but brie?y dealt with, being fairly explained in the Practical Handbook on Pump Construction.' The Author wishes it to be clearly understood that here a pump implies the hydraulic apparatus used in raising or forcing liquids, and not the steam part, hence the details in this book are strictly confined to the water or hydraulic part of the apparatus.
