Oops, sorry. My mistake. I must have misremembered what the museum label said.
I don't suppose you know anything about the pipe I saw lying around at Wheal Martyn?

Subject: Pump at Geevor
Robert Waterhouse refers to the section of 16th C. wooden pump column at Geevor as being from a 'rag and chain' pump. We've always interpreted it as a piston -type pump as in Agricola. I'd be interested in any further thoughts.
