anyone have a clue what this pump was used with?
 

Still going through stuff pulled from a storage container - this is a
brass (bronze?) lubricating pump - a gear type pump. Inlet and outlet
are 3/8 NPT, the drive shaft is 5/8 inch, the only markings are the
word "CALIFORNIA" cast into the back of the pump. Mounting holes are
2 3/4 inches on center, .45 inches in diameter (probably mounted with
3/8 bolts). the shaft protrudes 2 inches from the pump body. There
is a coupler on the end of the shaft marked "MAUREY FC-070 CHICAGO" on
the end of the shaft. The back of the pump is held to the front of
the pump with 8 round head slotted brass screws.

Any clues, anyone? if you need a photo, just let me know, I can put
one on my web site or something.

thanks
Bill

I have seen them used to pump water on street cleaners. Gear type positive
displacement. Washes the dirt off the road OK.

This type of pump is very good for pumping lubricating oil to various parts
of a large machinery. When I was in the Navy I remember a similar one used
in the lubrication system of an aircraft catapult to spray oil into the
power cylinder right before every shot and retraction of the power piston.

It might be good as a pump for a TIG water cooler.

some more info - this pump was not pumping water - it smells of
lubricating oil, and does not have the corrosion smell of brass that
has had a lot of water in it, nor an insecticide smell - I am sure it
came off a large tool, probably a mill, I'm just hoping someone can
recognize it so I can say what it fits and get it to a good home.
Otherwise, it becomes scrap brass, and that's a real waste when
someone probably has the machine that needs this.
