I found a picture of a pump that was on my uncle's farm for about 40 years before its removal in the mid 70's. Long before I became interested in pumps. I'm curious to know what company made it. My Dad, who is 85, tells me that it was not an electric but pumped as you turned a crank and had a dial with a hand that showed how many gallons pumped. Evidently some kind of a previsible. This is the only pic of it I have found and am sorry for the quality of the photo but know many of you guys/gals know your pumps very well. The picture originaly was of their dog in the foreground which I cropped of. I have tried, with Dad's help, to find the pump in Jack's book but have had no success.
I'll send the pic to Hubba for posting. Any help identifying this pump would be really appreciated.
Have a GR8 DAY!

Thanks, for your help, guys. I'd give quite a bit to track it down.

Dick, Tom 2 Tone, Don and everyone, sorry I had to make it so short yesterday but we were having a blizzard and the lights had blinked several time so thought I'd better shut her down. We really got hammered with 50 mph + winds, heavy snow 8-10 inches , losing our electricity around midnight till 9 this morning. I spent the entire day moving 5-6 foot drifts with the tractor and a scoop shovel. I took Jack's book down to Dad this pm and he is pretty sure you're right about the pump. Every since I started collecting pumps he has tried to identify the old pump that he used to fill his '37 Terraplane with to court my mom. Mystery is solved except for ...where is it now?
I just knew you would come through since you can spot those 36 B's lying down in the weeds going down the highway 70+ mph.
Thanks to Jack, again, for the GR8 book. It's paid for itself many times over!
Rod
