    The early pattern (16 square hole) water pump keep teaching me lessons. I believed they only came with iron or steel eccentric cam.
    I will be dining on crow, ran into a brass eccentric cam that is NOT a
    from a later pattern (7 slit) water pump.
    Salt and pepper, but, no butter I am trying to lose weight. Not much nutrition in crow and its taste leaves a lot to be desired. Excellent
    remedy for a swelled head.

    Cam on left is from a 7 slit water pump
    Cam on right is brass, but, clearly for early pattern (16 square hole) pump.
    edit
    Today I got curious and ambitious. The four 16 square hole water pumps were removed, taken apart and are now getting tune up.
    Just for the record two had iron/steel eccentric cams, one had a brass
    version and the remaing pump will be assembled using an eccentric
    cam from a 7 slit water pump.
