Hebel für Schwengelpumpe
1. The Idea
In Chapter 28.3 (which was December 23, 2022), I wrote about the The Horse Pump

2. The Planning
In the exchange of views with Adler about the Royal Fence, the horse pump also
came up for discussion.
Adler suggested making a pump crank from brass based
on photos and sketches I provided.
I received a set of 3 cranks (A-9180),
together with the Lindau Fence and Spielwaage, on Monday, October 2, 2023.
Still at Adler's...
... and with me now.

3. Construction
On Tuesday 3 Ocotber 2023, I started working on the crank, not least to get used to handling brass.
Even with the smallest nail I had, I still had to make the 0.4 mm hole a little wider.
The handle should hang all the way to the left for proper pumping swing.
Just as we had envisioned...
Gloss black added for colour.
