PUMPS.
NORWICH AGAINST ALL ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS

TO A CROWN.
SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS.
The most powerful in the world, with which a man of
ten stomp weight can raise an imperial barrel of water forty-
three feet high in a minute, but with no other Pump yet tried
a
ig minute
dinary, seldom below 70, and more frequently above 100 per
an•
t., taking the average of the results of every altitude from
1 foot to 100 feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of
ieing water was effected in the simplest manner possible,
being merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin-
Viple for Pumps, by which their friction and leakage was abo-
t!thed, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had
ueen made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years.
For a long time after this immortal invention was publicly
introduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre-
dicting that it would prove limited and frail, who are now
snivellir.g about that their trade would be ruined, because
Fountain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable, whe-
ther used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are
11* economical and invariable in their action, that they corn-
lustily perform for maltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with.
Out the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re-
markably simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car-
penters, &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully un-
dertake their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain
Pumps retarded, choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering
a few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon
deranges and seriouslj damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly
indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000
Years ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from
vk ell in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's
eamehi.

Since then appeared the four principles, namely, two limited,
ar,d two unlimited principles—two of them sliding principles,
• alio a spiral principle, and one a rolling principle.
t-
tillt. The Chain-pump in action is direct and simple ; but by
Zion and leakage very defective and dreadfully uncertain,
%
Di;nfrom its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain-
find! is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a
"d sliding principle.
• 2rl
Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant
n'ea: but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral
Principle.
Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt.
This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder
Pamps, under every name and modification. All Pumps upon
this plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed
%lust they be whe expect the contrary, because mostly above
t"0-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their
fiction and leakage, and when accurately tested against'the
tew principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines.
L•vertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the
2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle.
4th, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing
ltselti of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising
rater to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor
"1/5 than the Pump made absolute, because without any dis-
+verable defect or imperfection, it possesses every essential
Property for the purpose intended in the highest degree.

AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE.
;Ttr. Eirkbeck. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Len-
;rl' aals the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and
~.efeets of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect
41341raulie Machine.
fjil, • Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq.,
IL S., published a work in IMO, and therein snakes a rash,
.4"el feul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited,
rd although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages
some cases, it cannot he used for great elevations. Never-
beTlesti, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as
T,k'oat w one hundred feet, Millington might surely have known
flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability.
rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly
,T,?ne, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity when
4jureeir
ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun-
t d years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun-
.4lll
rumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost
Audestble.

CASES SUFFICIENT.
Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above LOON., have net cost
Per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them,
fro ni fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the
?liblie road 3 from Wymandham to Avisham, and at Yarmouth.
A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse
tife), the connectors lasted five years, lift ene hundred feet.
It is the packing that scrapes up the water in the o:d

~A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers,
orwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old
Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three
months new the connectors of their new pump last above six-
teen months. This noble machine has not. cost Os. a year for
connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eight im-
trial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV-
ING THAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW PRIN-
CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE.
The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in 1833, be-
tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a s!tilling,

The Ten Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with
them; have often been repaired, and the other day not one of
them would answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty.

At the many fair trials made by man, horsa, and steam
Power, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an
everage, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 20, 3tl,
44saud 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and
IN, certify similar results.
But, whereas there are still many novices striving hard to

rank in society, their great efficacy is acknowledged. The recent case
of the Chevalier de le Garde, Chamberlain to Stanislaus, late King of

ordinary virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev
Doctor Blomberg, of qisperton-Ilall, Yorkshire, Chaplain to his late
Majesty, and Rector oftripplegate, London, who, with a spirit of the
kindest humanity, voluntarly gave his testimony to their happy
effects. Cases have from time to time been published, as transmitted
