For ventilating tunnels in WW1 trench systems?

 

Richard where have you been all evening? Nope not for ventilating tunnels, although established as an air pump, it is something else as well & this is pre-war.

Definitely!

 

Don't worry Paul if you look back on some of the old MOs there have been similar traps that have caught the unsuspecting;)

 

Anyway this MO has not been concluded yet

Right, plan view of the intake/discharge valves on a hydraulic pump?

 

Alec.

 

Sorry Alec in all the excitement of running two MOs at the same time I missed your answer. You have done very well on both MOs.

 

Yes you are correct it is indeed an hydraulic pump with the capability of pumping air

 

Pump Air or Liquid Mark 1 L

Anything to do with recuparator recharging on artillery?

 

Predominantly yes I think Tony. Also pressure testing & was a multi-role piece of kit given its hydraulic capability. There were various later Marks that were larger & used less components susceptible to corrosion.
