Justice Gayror whom the New

Inquirer. Which is the better for
raising water, pump or a hydraulic
ram?
A hydraulic ram will suit better and
will be as cheap as a pump if there
is a drop of 4 or feet or more. The
more drop there is the less feed pipe

who understands the right size of ram

A one-inch pipe would be too small
for length of 600 feet and a lift of
60 feet. The delivery would be too
slow The pipe should be 11a inches
in diameter Through pipe of this
size an 8-ioot windmill would pump
about 1870 imperial gallons of water
per hour, when running full time in
a good wind, or 1900 to 1900 gallons
per day on the average If pumping
is all that the windmill is required
to do, probably an S-foot mill would
be large enough.
A Pinch pipe would be unnecessar-
lily large. and therefore. on account
of the considerable length unnecessar-
lily expensive The total weight of
water does not count in pumping, but
rather the weight or pressure per
square inch, and this depends on the
height Of the water column that is lift
ed, and not at all on the size of the
pipe. The pressure per square inch
would be the same at the base of a
Pinch pipe as at a 1-inch pipe. On
account of the fact that the friction
is relatively less in a large pipe than
in small one, it would be much cas-
Ter to force water 60 feet high through
Pinch pipe than through a 1-incb
pipe.
