From Sir ROBERT MENZIES, Bart., D.L., J.P., Castle Menzies,
Aberfeldy, N.B., February 14th, 1903.
Dear Sir — I am glad to say the Hydraulic Ram on the River
Erochd, in Rannoch, which supplies the two Shooting Lodges of
Camserochd and Rannoch Lodge, is still working quite well, and it
must be about 24 years since it was first put up (in 1879 or 1880), and
it goes quite regularly still, and it is only once since that it has
required to have some repairs done to it.
Faithfully yours, ROBERT MENZIES.
From Admiral Sir DAY H. BOSANQUET, G.C.V.O., K.C.B.,
Brom-y-Clos, Hereford, 31st March, 1919.
Sir—I consider the Hydraulic Ram which you supplied to me 38
years ago, and installed at Brom-y-Clos, Hereford, a remarkable
success.
The Machine has now run day and night for 38 years, although I
have understood that the fall is only 3-ft. 2-in. (however that may be),
the Machine has during the whole course of that time driven 3,000
gallons of water daily to the top of the house, and supplied my
stables and small farm-yard with water.
The expense during the whole of this period for repairs to the
Machine has amounted to only £17 14s. 5d., inclusive of £4 for
new patent type of delivery valve.
I sometimes notice the failure of Hydraulic Rams by other makers
which have been installed in the neighbourhood, and I always find
that they have been supplied too small for the work, or else badly
installed.
Yours faithfully, DAY H. BOSANQUET, Admiral.
From JOHN ROWE BENNION, Esq., J.P., Nursted House,
Petersfield, Hants., 15th July, 1920.
After working Sirs —The two Hydrams I had from you 40 years ago are doing
40 years. their work well, they lift water 148-ft. and give great satisfaction
here.
During the whole time I have had these Hydrams the cost for
repairs has only been £33 12s. 7d., or 7/9 per Hydram per annum.
Yours truly, JOHN ROWE BENNION.
From the Rev. H. J. DE SALIS, M.A., J.P., Portnall Park, Virginia
Water, October 25th, 1911.
Afterjworking

1 have pleasure in stating that the Hydram with which you
supplied me 33 years ago is still working quite satisfactorily.
