Notice the pump just above the water line! :)
This was on my summer '05 trip to Israel. I am in Hezekiah's Tunnel under the old city of Jerusalem. See how far apart the walls are, that was how wide it was the whole time (1.5 miles).
Oh, and the light in the picture comes only from the flashlight I am pointing at my face and the flash on the camera. It was pitch black in the tunnel!
Industial Pump on the new high pressure washer "Monster 800".
You can use our high pressure washer on construction sites, shipyard and construction industry in general.
Now this is a rare sight. I found this pump standing in a yard in Hillsboro, NM. I believe this pump was used in the latter 1920"s.
Four Candles is a sketch from the BBC comedy show The Two Ronnies, written by Ronnie Barker under the pseudonym of Gerald Wiley and first broadcast on 18 September 1976. Comic effect is largely generated through word play and homophones as a hardware shopkeeper, played by Ronnie Corbett, becomes increasingly frustrated by a customer, played by Barker, because he misunderstands what the customer is requesting.
The "pump" section of the sketch is described as:
He then asks for "pumps" and the shopkeeper asks him to elaborate. The customer complies by asking for "foot pumps". The shopkeeper brings a foot operated pneumatic pump to the counter. The customer then reveals he wants "brown pumps size nine". At this point the shopkeeper becomes convinced that the customer is playing a practical joke on him.

It sounded like the house was shaking apart. Darren investigated, and it appears to be a faulty check valve. (Legend S-614)
Here's the rebuilt fuel pump and new fuel filter assembly. This one actually has a glass bowl to see the dirt and water from the fuel.
The R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant is an architectural jewel — legacy of an age when infrastructure was celebrated. Its elegant styling reflects the importance given to clean water. We should remember that sentiment: clean water has saved more lives than all the hospitals of Toronto, even if we take it for granted nowadays.
“Dubbing it ‘The Palace of Purification,’ critics attacked the plant’s appearance as early as 1938. The use of rich materials like marble and bronze in the interior (plus extensive limestone carvings on the exterior) is both notable and characteristic of the times. While unusual for Toronto’s utilitarian structures, lavish treatment was typical in water treatment plants built across North America prior to World War II. The decorative program at the R.C. Harris surpassed that of most other facilities, not only in the Filter Building but, more surprisingly, throughout the Pumping Station. The intent was to create a water ‘showcase’ for the public, highlighting the mundane but essential function that makes cities possible.
"The R.C. Harris is the largest unified ensemble of Art Deco buildings in Toronto. Inside and out, the plant features stepped or set-back profiles and a wealth of flattened, geometric and highly-stylized ornament in stone,brick, and metal. The plant is an excellent example of how the Art Deco style (1925-40) could integrate Late Romanesque Revival and Modern Classical forms, which are represented by the round-arched in the Filter Building and the simplified pediments and pilasters on the Pumping Station."

The Abbey Mills Pumping Station
Designed by Joseph Bazalgette, Edmund Cooper, and Charles Driver.
Built 1865-68
Housing eight beam engines by Rothwell & Co. of Bolton
The Abbey Mills Pumping Station (Pumping Station F) is a large industrial barn, some 57m long, 29m wide and 23m high. It is the fifth in a series of sewage pumping stations built here since 1869, and uses state-of-the-art submersible pumps which halved the installation cost. Previous Victorian stations are now listed and used for other purposes.
The superstructure consists of lightweight steel 'A' frames at 6m centres, bearing upon a square frame which carries the travelling cranes used for maintenance. It is this square structure that is at the heart of the design and becomes the key to the expression of the gable ends.
Four sewers are brought together into one large concrete culvert which forms the base of the entire building. Using 16 pumps with a capacity of two cubic metres per second, the sewage is then pumped up 13m and discharged into the upper level culvert. From there it discharges into the 1869 main outfall sewer and the treatment plant at Barking.
Four diesel generators in the middle of the building power the installation while a central gantry and two side-aisle travelling cranes allow the pumps and other machinery to be lifted for maintenance.
Externally, the roof is penetrated by four vent cowls for the machinery. Louvres along the roof ridge provide ventilation to the barn itself. The sides are also louvred.
