. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. Combined Engine and Pump The difficulty fruit growers have experienced has been to find a power outfit with sufficient capa- city, strength and durability to maintain the desired pressure with- out continual annoyance. All pre- vious attempts to meet this require- ment have resulted in a power equipment on the sprayer of an enormous, cumbersome weight and size. The strain between engine and pump at 350 pounds pressure demands their combined construc- tion, thus producing the greatest degree of rigidity and strength. Misalignment of gears and other working parts caused by overstrain soon render the machine Disassembled I'ump Cylinder and \ alve Here is shown the simple, compact, combined engine and pump. Note the rigid plunger alignment, the unit of construction. Less than one-half the bearings to wear that are found on complicated triplex pumps. New packing and valve seats in five minutes. Do the work with your cuflfs on if you like. Packing adjusted while pump is operating under high pressure. The "Friend" was the first complete gasoline power sprayer ever made, hence the above. 1. A good agitator that works without leaks and jerks, causing perfect agitation. 3. A nozzle throwing a fine spray twenty to twenty-five feet, either angle or straight. 3. A tank filler that fills the tank at 35 gallons per minute, weighing but 5 pounds. No pumo. 4. A relief valve in which new parts can be applied in half a minute. Your hands the tools. 5. A smooth-running motor, transmitting its power without the "hit and miss" Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hood River, Or. , Better fruit publishing company
