Largest size ever used on a small Forney? Chances are there have been some fitted with 11" airpumps just to get them down the road.

As to "normal" sizes used on small equipment 6" & 8" singles in the 1890-1910 period. After that mainly 9-1/2" were used as Westinghouse & New York wern't mass producing the smaller ones any more.

Any one here know when Westinghouse and New York quit making their 6" and 8" pumps?

Cheers,

Curtis F.
