Says Russ Boyack: Palethorpe had a Hydraulic Ram Pump that supplied water to an adjacent farm. I used to be sent to Mr. Wall, the cobbler, on Smedley Street to get leather washers made for the Hydo-Ram.
Def: A Hydraulic Ram Pump takes in water at one hydraulic head and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate using only the energy from the flowing water. A hydraulic Ram uses pistons to do this. Other methers are water wheel and wind power.
