"Le seul possible pour votre puits meme tres profond." A new well, fitted with a Dragor water pump, contrasted with an old well using a bucket on a winch; advertising Dragor water pumps. Art by Jelb, 1935. The Dragor pump was operated manually: it contained a wheel around which was suspended a looped cord which hung down within a well and to which numerous small cups were attached. By turning a handle, the user could rotate the cord so that the cups on the rising part of the cord would scoop up water and eject it at the top (through a dragon's mouth) into a container Left, a new, secure, brick-lined well from which water is being pumped into a bucket with a Dragor pump. Right, a farmyard with an old open-top stone-lined well filled with debris like a dead cat, a mouse, and a boot. The top is not secure and the boy trying to pull the bucket up slips, falling down the well.
