Worthington Duplex steam pump
In this arrangement of pumping engine, which was originally introduced by H. R. Worthington about 1850, there are two complete double-acting steam cylinders, side by side, directly working similar pumps, but with the strokes so timed that a practically continuous discharge is maintained into the delivery main so that the engine will pump quietly even through long lengths of pipe.
