IN making the additions contained in Part II. of this book, I
have added a description of Hand Power Pumps, as suggested
by some of my friends, and have selected some important modern
types of pumping machinery, many of which, by courtesy of
the manufacturers, I have been able to illustrate in the
Drawings, Nos. 24 to 34. I have also been able to add further
details and data of some of the machinery described in the
First Part. I have to tender my sincere thanks to the firms
named hereafter for the assistance they have kindly afforded me.
Many extra examples might have been given of some of the
types now described; it was however considered desirable not
to repeat matter when the general principles of working were
much the same. I trust the present book will meet with the
same kind reception as the last.
