Water Works: Machines for Raising Water in the 19th Century - A Glimpse into the Past This copperplate engraving, created by W. Lowry after an illustration by J. Britton, taken from Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature published in London in 1817, offers a fascinating glimpse into the water technology of the 19th century. The image showcases various water-raising machines that were instrumental in supplying water to industries and urban areas during this period. At the heart of this intricate composition lies the Water Bellows, a primitive yet effective water pumping device. This machine, which resembles a large accordion, relied on human effort to pump water. The bellows were squeezed to create a vacuum, which drew water from a well or a nearby water source. The water was then released, pushing the air out and raising the water to the desired level. Another remarkable machine depicted in this engraving is the Chremnitz Fountain. Named after its inventor, Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, this fountain used a combination of water pressure and gravity to create an impressive water display. The water was raised to a height and released through a nozzle, creating a spectacular jet of water that could reach impressive heights. Lastly, the engraving features Mr. John Whitehurst's Device, a water-raising machine that employed a weighted bucket and a series of pulleys to lift water. This ingenious invention allowed for a more efficient and labor-saving method of water lifting compared to the traditional methods of the time. This image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of the 19th century, who sought to harness the power of water to meet the needs of their growing societies. It is a reminder of the rich history of water technology and the continuous advancements that have shaped our world.
