the sweep turns on this axle. </

piston-rod is fastened with an iron key; at the other end a cross-bar is also

fixed, to the extreme ends of which are handles to enable it to be held more

firmly in the hands. </

he forces the piston into the pipe; when he pushes it down again he draws

the piston out of the pipe; and thus the piston carries up the water which

has been drawn in at the openings of the disc, and the water flows away through

the spout into the drains. </

the first in all that relates to the piston, disc, trunk, box, and valve.</
