d-pipe making. A sheet 100 inches wide made a pipe weighing 120 pounds to the foot; and would be about 30 inches diameter, allowing for a little lap, were it cylindrical. The sheets of lead were soldered by the assistance of tin and rosin, the sides being brought flatly together, exposing both edges outside and giving a pear-form to the section. Over the joint was soldered a capping ridge, and the whole was hooped around with straps of lead. a b c d e show the forms of pipe found at Lyons.

, as the case may be, moving in a circular path or rotating on its own proper axis. Some of these are considered under centrifugal pump (see pages 514-516). The more common form of rotary pump is that in which the piston or pistons rotate on an axis, as seen in the illustrations, Fig. 4465. a is a double-wheel pump from the old collection of Serviere. The cog-wheels rotate in contact with each other, the teeth of each filling the interdental spaces of the opposite. Serviere was born at Lyons, 1593. See also Ramelli's book, sixteenth century. b is Eve's rotary pump, 1825. It has three pistons on a hub, and a rotating abutment, which offers a depression to enable the pistons to pass as they are successively presented. c has a hub with one piston, and a curved flap which turns on a hinge. In d the pistons are cam-shaped, and the vertical valve which forms the abutment rises on the cam, and then shuts down behind it, to rise again on the next cam. e has a sliding valve
