Gents—I have with great interest examined your American Submerged Ship Pump in full operation. I consider it the best Pump I have ever seen, as to the steady and large volume of water delivered, its simplicity, and great labor saved, which is the desideratum on ship board. No clapper getting off. No packing. No drawing of boxes to clear the clapper, and placed below freezing point. As to force and head pumps on board ship, it cannot be equalled. It is the pump. My opinion is based upon over half a century’s experience on shipboard.
