These pumps are in the Greenslade collection.

| "Silbermann Universal Pump. Standing about 67 cm
high, this pump for moving gases consists essentially of a single piston
moved by hand in a barrel 4.03 cm in diameter. Two values in the base open
and close alternately as the piston rises and falls. A stopcock is located
in each of the two side arms, and a third stopcock allows the two side
arms to be directly connected or closed off from each other. Marked "Deleuil
à Paris (in caps). This is item 1925 in Deleuil's catalog of 1865."
