Re: Anyone have info regarding older hand operated cast iron water pumps?

Pictures would be great. My e-mail that is listed in my profile works.

So far I have still not found very much historical information regarding the first uses of these pumps, nor their original designers/manufacturers. From my understanding, these are still used in many third world countries as a primary means for well water retrieval. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any solid facts stating the origin and history of any of them.

Any other help is appreciated. Thanks so far.
