Re: Pump ID please
Looks like a Frank Pearns pump made in Manchester Bill, seen a few around in the past but they are not that common these days.

May be worth having a word with Kev as he has an early Pearn pump which he is resoring at present but it's a lot bigger than your's but he may know where to find info.

Re: Pump ID please
well mate that makes two of us that have frank pearn pumps but nothing i can find on either of them
heres mine shes a little one well by franks designs of old anyway
and it pump water again at hand rotation speed
this is a chair pushed up to the flywheel for a sizing guide
kev
so if we all keep search from time to time, oneday there maybe new info put on the web
ive also got the manchester industrial science museum looking into mine also, they have been trying for 6 months but only had one email from them and they came up with a advert sign and a will keep searching ,and also would you like to donate the pump for preservation in there museum nice try
the dating from them was a wider scale than mine ,but only by 8 yrs
closest i can figure mine to from available info on web graves guide and other factory patent data 1875- 1898
1900 pumps start to head in your lister/climax styled of pumps direction of enclosed and horizontal

Pump ID Frank Pearns
Thanks Kev for your reply, my pump is on the same lines as a Lister domestic but is about twice the size and weighs 32 Kg . somebody somewhere must have some info on Frank Pearns, all we can do is hope that they see these posts and it jogs their memory Bill

bill not a problem mate at all
the web search is a mine field , as you think u got a new find ,and its so one from manchester usa, with the same name ,or its the same 3 steam pumps in the misuems that 30+ people have done videos of
thats why i said about my frank pearn "little one " pearns didnt do small from what i can find out about , the valve and other access covers on mine are 1" thick solid cast iron , and the weight must be getting on for a lister A just started to make the timbers and steering up for the trolley
then im sitting the old oak skids onto my trolley ,so if its to unstable when working will just use trolley as a means of moving and slip pearn off to the floor ect
and the sign ive had made for the display arrived yesterday
