Pyrene - Pulsometer Trailer Pump

John Dickinson Home Park FB in 1938 with their new Pyrene- Pulsometer Trailer Pump. A 24hp. Ford SV engine drives a Pulsometer Two-Stage 430 gpm pump which has an integral Water Ring Primer. Note the ropes to pull the T/pump and the unlined canvas hose.

I bet the unlined hose was a plus during the Blitz with all the heat the hose leaking water kept it from burning.

The hose appears to be wet in which case it will be rubber lined. Unlined wet hose is twice the size when wet

Actually it is unlined canvas 50ft lengths. My Father is second right in the pic. I used to help wind up the hose. It certainly did percolate.
