52.5 weeks of 2010 [Week 14] Back at the Pump Rooms to meet up with the Bride & Groom to find out more about the photos they require. Looking forward to my first wedding photography :-)
Bedford Park, Bronx, New York City, New York, United States
The High Pumping Station in the northwest section of The Bronx was built in the years 1901-06 by George W. Birdsall of The Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity. Constructed as part of the Jerome Reservoir complex, an adjunct to the Croton Aqueduct system, the station was built to pump water from the reservoir located to its west to consumers throughout the borough.
The area that gave rise to this reservoir gained its name from the Jerome Park Racetrack (named for one of its founders, Leonard W. Jerome, Winston Churchill's grandfather) which occupied the site between 1876 and 1890.
Dating back to the time of the American Revolution this land was the property of Colonel Frederick Philipse, a Tory whose estate was later confiscated by the Continental Congress.
The decision to build a new receiving reservoir at Jerome Park was reached by the Aqueduct Commissioners as early as 1884, however the plans for the new reservoir were not ready until 1894 with the contract for construction being signed only in August 1895.
At the turn of the century the demand for clean water by a growing urban population was supplemented by the need to have necessary pressure in order that the water be able to reach the upper floors of multi-storied structures. It is precisely this service performed by the High Pumping Station that made it such an important utility for The Bronx.
This is clearly recognized by the author of the Annual Report of The Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, 1903 who characterizes the High Pumping Station as being a valuable tool from which "...a much needed supply can be delivered to a territory where the pressure is at present totally Insufficient."
Contracts for the foundations, engines, boilers, tank, standpipe, and coal house for the station were given out in the summer and fall of 1901. Work was delayed, however, because a sewer needed to drain the site of the reservoir had not yet been completed by the Aqueduct Commission; only the laying of the
The pumping station is built in the Romanesque Revival idiom, a style that was widely used at the turn of the century for all different types of buildings.
The fact that it is employed here for strictly a utilitarian purpose reflects the adaptability of the style as well as the importance attached to this utilitarian building.
Situated along the west side of Jerome Avenue just south of Mosholu Parkway, the High Pumping Station is a long and narrow red brick building topped by a steeply pitched roof.
The facade is divided into a series of bays, each consisting of two arched windows (or doorway, if an entrance) flanked by shallow brick buttresses. This arrangement of the facade relieves, in part, the dominant horizontality of the station's layout and provides the facade with a sense of rhythm.

A 1960s vintage high school woodshop/"shop" class project by one of my uncles, by way of one of my aunts.
Pulling the "pump" handle pulls the chain that turns on the light.

The hydraulic diaphragm pump was developed on the basis of the triplex reciprocating pump and diaphragm metering pump in the end of the 1990s, which is a horizontal single-acting piston reciprocating diaphragm pump. With the diaphragm which totally separates the pumped fluid from the piston cylinder parts, the pump is specially suitable for delivering high abrasive pulps for extended lifetime of wear-and tears parts such as piston sealing ring and cylinder bush, and the leaktight requirements can be met for handling inflammable, explosive or toxic fluid. Offering capacities from 2 to 800m3/h and maximum working pressure up to 20 MPa, the pump is widely used for transferring hi-temperature, highly abrasive and corrosive ore or coal slurry, inflammable, explosive and / or toxic products such as liquid ammonia, liquefied gas, etc. in non-ferrous metal industry wet-process metallurgy, coal-chemical and petrochemical industries.
Integrated triplex diaphragm pump, single-cylinder diaphragm pump and multiplex pump combined with several single-cylinder pumps in line horizontally are available for different applications. Lower pump speed, generally 30 ~ 60 min-1, is suitable for slurry, and comparatively high pump speed for solutions similar to water.
Upon completion of a Quick Impact Project, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and partners hand over a solar-powered water pump to the community of Gormoyok village in Rejaf Payam. The project was requested by the community, implemented by Islamic Relief Worldwide, and sub-contracted to Relief Line with funding from UNMISS. The water pump station is able to draw 40,000 liters of water per day, during both dry and rainy seasons, and will supplement the hand pump well recently installed nearby. The community requested aid due to the fact that water trucks in town have largely been diverted to the Protection of Civilians site nearby, making it difficult to obtain clean water for drinking and cooking.
Community residents draw water from the water point.
Probably my most used iPhone app. I realized though that in order to get a REAL accurate look at the costs and milage you have to start the first record with milage ONLY. So, not entering the fuel information, cost, etc. JUST The milage.
I actually worked out the math. And it was complicated. And I'm blond.
So this is around three weeks of driving. 50 mile round trip commute to work and we use my car for most family outings.
This pump pumps water up to a storage tank that's at least 10 meters above it, up quite a steep hill. It runs on water pressure, essentially. See the next pic for the basic diagram of how the water travels.

Engine house has 2 pumping engines, No 1, of 1812 by Boulton and Watt with condenser and parallel motion. Six-ton 9 m cast iron beam. Valves modified 1843 and condenser relocated. No 2 engine by Harvey & Co of Hayle, 1843, cylinder replaced 1903. Both engines 1.066 m cylinder bore, 2.44 m stroke raising 1 ton of water each stroke, 12 and 9 strokes per minute respectively. Water is raised 12.19 m from a tunnel from the reservoir and canal pound supplemented from canal lock No 63 after 1847. Water is laundered into header leat (now derelict) leading to summit of canal 1500 m to the west, above lock 62. Boilers of Lancashire type replacing originals in 1896. 8.2 m x 2.28 m diameter. A subsidiary pump was installed 1826 to supply water to Tottenham House (q.v.). The engines are the earliest steam beam engines still in working order... EH Listing
This pump was in the garden of our holiday cottage near Loudun, France. It was in working order as can be seen in this picture.
Vertical centrifugal pumps are also referred to as cantilever pumps. They utilize a unique shaft and bearing support configuration that allows the volute to hang in the sump while the bearings are outside of the sump. This style of pump uses no stuffing box to seal the shaft but instead utilizes a "throttle Bushing". A common application for this style of pump is in a parts washer.
Located in some trees near a pond, (known locally as the Donkey Pond), is, what is marked on the map as a pumping engine. This ruin is all that is left of the building which housed it, but wether it was for the mines or the brewery, I don't know. That is belonged to the Stocks family of Upper Shibden Hall seems certain, not only is it on their land, but they owned the brewery and most of the mines!

Gooseneck Pumper
c. 1815
New York
The term “gooseneck” resulted from the curved shape of the water pipe that leads from the top of the wooden housing of the air chamber. This type of water pipe allowed the firefighter to easily maneuver the water stream without moving the entire apparatus.
This hand pump engine was probably one of the first hand pumpers built by James Smith of New York City. Between 1810 and the 1860s, Smith manufactured close to 500 hand pumpers. The Powers and Weightman Company of Philadelphia used this particular pumper.
