Here are a couple of Samson pump tables from a Samson catalog. If you want to PM me your email I can send you the entire catalog. Lots of other useful info in it.

I appreciate the help, thanks

That’s a great pic. It’s a very elegant design for 1930s. The cast aluminum governor spring cover is usually broken or missing.
