I still have a question about the pump stroke. It seems there ought to be slot in the case for the pump am to go through to connect to the pump rod but I can't see it. What am I missing?

Wayne, you can see the pump rod in the last picture. It comes down in back of the rear cover.

That's a double WOW! I signed up with the lady from Australia at last year's Trade Fair for her Windmill Journal. All about Australian and New Zealand windmills. In the last issue it had a story about the Alston Aqua. I enjoy reading it.

In my Windmill Journal from September 2019 they write about the Trans Australian Railway. They used Comet windmills on there wells one installed in 1933 was 35 Ft on a 45 Ft tower.
