importance to design the pumping plants chati that I 1 water la is positively delivered to the impellers 1 to td install the main pumps ot of a mine so that the water mater flows flos by gravity to the impellers is impractical priming devices otter offer certain well defined and well known ments however both of these alternatives ter have been avoided at the park utah consolidated by the use ot of small lorhea low di byron jackson booster pumps dumps ot of the vertical deep well type these thebe placed veil sell below tho the water level ot of the sump take the water by gravity and deliver it to the main pumps which are installed with tour four speed motors on the pump station twenty teet feet above the sump level adequate capacity assured the equipment consists cop ot of two independent units unita automatically controlled by tour four speed motors each unit embraces ft a byron jackson jackon gallon 40 foot head vertical booster or well pump connected in series I 1 with a cameron 8 inch centrifugal pump with 2700 gallons per minute capacity under a toot foot head the water flows by gravity into the booster pump whence it Is forced directly into the centrifugal pump on
