And MMDer Gilles Chouinard in Quebec sent this note today:

  "By reading the descriptions of that kind of metal framed pump
over the few e-mails about it in the Digests, I was wondering if the
Auto-typist pumps were not the same as one I tried to buy on eBay in
2005.  I wanted to buy it to make a permanent workshop pump for my
workplace.  I planned to bolt it to one of the ceiling beams.
Finally I didn't win that auction.

  "I was really interested in the metal frame of that pump and the
way it was made.  I've never seen one like that before.  If I recall
correctly the eBay seller didn't know much about it except that he
found it in a barn.  He had no clue what the pump was made for.

  "I kept three pictures from that eBay auction and from those by
John Tuttle I can say that it's the same thing as what I tried to buy
then.  My pictures are not large nor of very high quality, though."
