1894 Illustrated description of the Adams Automatic Sewage Lift [3]
1895 Illustrated description of the Adams Sewage Lift, installed in Grimsby to force sewage from low level sewers to a higher level sewer for discharge.[4]. The system was self-acting, and discharged the sewage intermittently, according to the rate at which it entered Tank J (see drawing). The motive power came from the water supplied to the Flush Tank B. The system was very ingenious. It required no complicated apparatus, but it would not be surprising if the various valves occasionally gave trouble.
Further information, with drawings showing different arrangements, is available here[5]
c.1904 became Adams-Hydraulics
See here for Historic England listing for an Adams sewage lift on Whitchurch Road, Christleton, near Chester. More information here[6]
