sump pump?

No,

I was worried the first reply might get it,

It is in a basement though, of a regular customer's of mine.

I had examined it close up the first time I saw it and still didn't know what it was till the owner told me.

You got it! I figured some one here would get it pretty quick.

Circa 1920's old, probably one of the very first. This is a mansion and they would of had the latest and greatest. There is an elevator, wine cellar etc.

I'll get a pic of the heating system next time, 6" threaded steel pipes and fittings!

pics of back of house and large 2 storey high cathedral type window.
