Methods of pumping water from deep wells
An undergraduate engineering thesis on deep-well pumping, written by Clarence Wilson Fiske at the University of Illinois in 1903 for examiners and fellow engineering students. Faded sepia photographs of pump cylinders, rods, and piping in brick pump houses are tipped onto wide cream mounts, paired with sparse ink line diagrams of pump linkages keyed with single letters; useful for machine-shop textures, framed photographic layouts, and schematic line work.
