PUMPS.
40RWICII AGAINST ALL ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS
TO A CROWN.
SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS.
The most powerful in the world, with which a man of
ten stone weight can raise an imperial barrel of water forty-
Three feet high in a minute. but with no other Pump yet tried
In a minute and a-half. Their practical gain is most extraor-
dnary, seldom be!ow 70, and more frequently above 100 per
le taking the average of
sere results of every altitude from
a foot to 100 feet high. Th markable gain in the art of
raising water was effected in the simplest manner possible,
being merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin-
VPle for Pumps, by which their friction and leakage was abo-
phed, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had
been made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years.
. For a long time after this immortal invention was publicly
lyroduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre-
dating that it would prove limited and frail, who are now
Fountain
about that their trade would be ruined, because
"'Contain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable, whe-
ther used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are
" economical and invariable in their action, that they corn-
46nlY perform for maltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with-
' out the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re-
darkably simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car-
penters, &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully en-
'*take their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain
*romps retarded, choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering
few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon
deranges and seriously damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly
%teed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000
!core ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from
1411 in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's
creels.
.ftitute they appeared the four principles, namely, two limited,

pump is a combination of Inefficient expensive lumber—a

pumps,
is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder
nrnps,under ev cry name and modification. All Pumps upon
414 plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed
?lost they be echo expect the contrary, because mostly above
lefo-fifths of the labour employed is entirely waste',l by their
_o'lction and leakage, and when accurately tested against the
prineip)e, always prove to be but contemptible machines.
Cocertheless these imperfect Pumps stood vairivalled for the
-14 2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle.
4th, andjlast, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing
ekt of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising
liter to a science. The Fountain Purnp is neither more nor
!1% than the Pump made absolute, because without any dis-
wierable defect or imperfection, it p'issesses every essential
Property for the purpose intended in Vac highest degree.

AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE.
tirkbeck. President of thedMechanics' Institution, Lon-
ra, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and
"le,feets of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect
alydraulic Machine.
The Vice-President, , Professor John Millington, Esq.,
.L. S., published a w oek in 1830, and therein makes a rash,
feui, and silly r..ssertion, that the new principle is limited,
d although, from, its diminished friction it has its advantages
tillme cases, it cannot be used for great elevations. Never-
, ess, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as
tielaw one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known
at flexibility was nopreof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability.
The rigid teeth of mama-a and her four sisters were mostly
Stine, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity when
d eir ages, united With their only brother, exceeded five hun-
dred ears. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun-
-2- Vumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost
'4'4lo.m:table.

CASES SUFFICIENT.
Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above LOON., have not cost
Per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them,
"In fifteen t• one hundred feet long, are used to water the
Publics roads from Wymandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth.

1,4.13. It is the packing that scrapes up the water in the old
'he
that wears nut. And it is the connector that rolls up
'we water in the New Pump that wears out.
Mark the next two cases, both Pumps having done the same
Work.

Single-acting Fountain Purr's at Messrs. Horton's, dyers,

Tr? it superseded.
Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's. dyers,
4',.._.erwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old
Treble-aoting 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 Ss. a year for
Connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eight im-
trjai barna. of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV-
ING THAT IN SKILFUL HNDS THE NEW PRIN-
CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE.

The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in 1838, be-
tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor
varied in effect.

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 comparatire frailty.

EFFECT.

At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam
!owe*, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an
average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, '2O, 30,
sand 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and
lea, certify similar results.
But, whereas there are still many novices striving hard to
rrpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pomp in pre-
rence to the New English genuine Pump and common sense,
Iftetending that they can make miraculous frictim Pumps with-
Ott friction,
Therefore, let no at ince come to deeds to try the vies-
"sn, and shame the fool who first cries " Hold. enough.'

Respecting force and resistance both town and country
