Product Description
Hand-pumped fire engines were first produced in the seventeenth century and a highly efficient machine was eventually developed by Richard Newsham. From the 1860s manual engines began to be superseded by steam fire engines but many households kept small manual pumps; a variety of such devices was available. This book shows the development of the manual fire pump and also covers some of the other basic items of firefighting equipment.
