Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story Book of the Fields We have all seen a pump, and know something about its construction. There is a long leaden pipe which goes down into the well, and above that a short, thick pipe in which the piston rises and falls. This large pipe is the cylinder. One very frosty morning we find the cylinder cracked from top to bottom. There is a hole the length of your finger, and a lump of ice projecting through it. How could the cold break this hard iron pipe? It was not the cold alone. There was something in the cylinder: there was water, and this water was changed into ice, which was imprisoned between the cylinder and the piston, unable to rise or fall. Now ice expands as it forms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
