Peak District Mining Museum - steam pumps
The tall job is a non-rotative sinking pump and I can't quite work out the plumbing. To the left is a very standard duplex non-rotative pump of the type built in the thousands for feeding boilers and to the right one can see some of a Tangyes 'special' pump that has virtually no external moving parts.
I scanned this recently for a colleague for a different project and felt it should be posted to Geograph.
