Description: |
| XC patents are Canadian patents issued between 1824 and 1869."The cylinder of the pump, or engine, is made in two parts, of copper or other metal. In the lower part is a bottom valve for admitting the water, and also a pipe for its passage into the air chamber. A conical leather with a plunger screwed to the piston rod is fixed between the flanges of the two parts of the cylinder, and made air tight by screw bolts or nails..."The inventor's locale is given as "the Village of Galt, in the County of Halton". Galt was in North Dumfries Township which was, in fact, transferred from Halton County to Wellington District in 1840. In 1852 the counties of Southwestern Ontario were reorganized, and North Dumfries became part of Waterloo County. |
