Hi all,
I saw a Worthington pump the other day with 76x45x76 on the maker's plate.
I'm assuming this is an indicator to its capacity?
I couldn't see inside it but it looks like the piston rods and associated bits are all brass so I'm assuming it was for pumping water.

Re: Worthington pumps
I'll bet those are the bores and stroke in millimeters. Translates to about 3" & 1-3/4" bores x 3" stroke.
It was not easy to convince Allnutt. All his shop training had given him a profound prejudice against inexact work, experimental work, hit-or-miss work.
