Description
These types of fire pumps were called 'corridor pumps' as several could be stationed at strategic points in the corridors of great houses, where they could easily be wheeled to the site of a fire. The body of the apparatus was kept filled with water, and the large two-handled lever operated to pump water through a flexible leather hose.
