Saguaro National Park, Arizona.
This is what's left of an Aermotor (the company's name is faintly seen here) water pump. There's a rusted water tank below.
It's located on the Hope Camp Trail, in the southern portion of the Rincon Mountain District. This section was purchased by the National Park Service in 1991 to be added to (then) Saguaro National Monument, and remains today the least-visited of the park's public areas.
There's another windmill a mile or so further down the trail at Hope Camp, but I left this trail to hike some of the Arizona Trail before reaching it. This one's located in the remains of Deer Camp, which was another line camp used by cowboys when they were away from the ranch.
In the background are the Rincon Mountains and a few of the countless saguaros in this remote area.

The village pump in Chinnalapatti.

This old hand pumper was captured in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Until the mid-19th century, most fires were fought by water transported to the scene in buckets. Original hand pumpers discharged their water through a small pipe or monitor attached to the top of the pump tub.[1] It was not until the late 1860s that hoses became widely available to convey water more easily from the hand pumps, and later steam pumpers, to the fire.
For Our Daily Challenge: Energy
In the 1870s, settlers in Central Michigan relied upon human energy and hand pumps to draw water from hand-dug wells. This pump is part of an 1870s Homestead Farm exhibit at the Chippewa Nature Center, near Midland, Michigan, USA.

Lunch at the Pump Room - this dessert is really called 'Pump Room glory'. It is vanilla ice cream, strawberry meringue, chocolate brownie and fudge cream (I am actually allergic to strawberries, so this was an indulgence bordering on stupidity - but it was SO GOOD!)
aken today, 17 Sept 2020 for a family outing only to have lunch at the beach front without even taking a dip. Just enjoyed the sunset and the cool wind atmosphere.

Looking straight into the outflow from the Lake Eppalock Pump Station. Crazy that this was captured a little over a week before the water levels increased to the bottom of the windows!

This old well pump has been sitting on the well cover, just waiting for us to install it, oh for years now. It will be super handy for the ducks and the garden.
Including the one this will be used with, we have three wells on this farm, so we're not exactly hurting for water. But non-electric water will be sweet.
Taken at the old mill site at the Monocacy Civil War Battle field MD. This old pump house provided water for the Civil War era mill.
ENGLISH:
Hand pressure syringe, around 1900
When the horses are unhitched, two wooden poles can be inserted transversely into the longitudinal black pump lever at the front and rear. These are pressed down by 2 or 4 men in alternate communication. This rocking motion pumps the water from the water tank. The already filled tank is refilled using buckets or an attached suction hose.
The wagon is equipped with a suction hose reel, buckets, 2 fire axes and a ladder frame with support. On the rear is an reel trailer with pressure hose.
The car pulled by 2 horses offers space for up to 4 firefighters. Other firefighters and assistants go to the scene of the fire with their own buckets on foot or using carriages provided.

Jeringa de presión manual, alrededor de 1900
Cuando los caballos están desenganchados, se puede insertar dos postes de madera transversalmente en la palanca negra longitudinal de la bomba en la parte delantera y trasera. Estos son presionados por 2 o 4 hombres en comunicación alternativa. Este movimiento de balanceo bombea el agua del tanque de agua. El tanque ya lleno se rellenará con baldes o una manguera de succión adjunta.
El vagón está equipado con un carrete de manguera de succión, baldes, 2 hachas de fuego y un marco de escalera con soporte. En la parte trasera hay un remolque de carrete con manguera de presión.
El coche tirado por 2 caballos ofrece espacio para hasta 4 bomberos. Otros bomberos y ayudantes acuden al lugar del incendio con sus propios baldes a pie o utilizando los carruajes provistos.

Handdruckspritze, um 1900
Wenn die Pferde ausgespannt sind können in den längs verlaufenden schwarzen Pumphebel vorn und hinten jeweils eine Holzstange quer eingelegt werden. Diese werden durch 2 oder 4 Männer jeweils gegengleich hinunter gedrückt. Durch diese Schaukelne Bewegung wird das Wasser in der Wanne gepumpt. Der bereits gefüllte Wassertank wird mittels Eimer oder eines angebrachen Saugschlauches nachgefüllt.
Zur Ausrüstung des Wagens gehören ein Saugschlauch, Eimer, 2 Axte und eine Standleiter mit Abstützung. Der Druckschlauch befindet sich auf der angehängten Haspel.
Der von 2 Pferden gezogene Wagen bietet bis zu 4 Feuerwehrleuten Platz. Weitere Feuerwehrmänner und Hilfspersonen begeben sich mit ihren eigenen Eimern zu Fuss oder mittels zur Verfügung gestellten Kutschen an die Brandstelle.
