Few foot pumps are used the full lift of the foot, and the “Nesthill-Bristol” having a maximum foot lift of 10", greater volume of air is delivered per stroke and the full length of stroke is used every time. DOUBLE ACTING. High pressures are obtained with the ease of single acting pumps. VALVES. Perfectly designed non return valves. GAUGE. Guaranteed accurate to a limit of three pounds. Protected against injury by brass cover over dial. EFFICIENCY. The mechanical advantage of the patent toggle and link motion is clearly demonstrated in operation. The maximum pressure is obtained at the end of each stroke. COMPACTNESS. When closed the outside dimensions are 19” long, 5” wide, and 4” high. The low, narrow, compact shape suits the tool-box of practically every car. RUBBER STOPS. No jarring at the end of every stroke owing to the metal parts coming into contact. All shock is absorbed by the rubber stops. BARREL. Highest grade weldless steel tubing, of sufficient strength to withstand hard usage. ERNEST H.{Arthur M.
