Pump That May Work Revolution

Salt Lake Telegram: Patent has been obtained by the inventor,
on a pump now on exhibition at the Silver Bros. iron works, $40
West Seventh South street George G. McNee of Clay Center, Kan,
is the inventor, and evolved the idea while in charge of the draining
of shallow mines in Oregon. j. I. Fitch of Helper, who is inter-
ested in the device. says that Mum & Co., editors of the Scientific
American, have stated that the pump will revolutonize all known
pumping systems.
The pump consists of four cylinders. two on each side of the
platform upon which it rests. Walking beams connect two cylinders,
one on each side of the base, and as the piston on one side of the
fulcrum goes down, the other comes up, thus the piston which is
forced up assists the opposite piston in its work.
Another beam of like nature connects the remaining two cyin-
ders, and through the arrangement two pistons are forcing water into
the water receptacle, continuously, while the other two III going
down, and a steady and continuous flow of water results. While
the wheel which causes the pumping action is revolving once, each
cylinder raises and lowers twice, and with the mechanical advantage
derived from the cylinders on opposite sides of the walking beams,
a 2 IL horsepower engine does the work of a 4O-horsepower engine
with ordinary pumps.
The pump can also be moved from place to place and could
easily be applied to removing water from a depth of 500 feet or more
according to the inventor, and with the same horsepower engine,
could raise a sixinch stream of water 500 feet.
