the movement of the valve or valves, substantially as de-
scribed and illustrated. (2.) In improvements in beer and
other pumps a cam or eccentric (as g) mounted upon a
spindle (as h) provided with a handle (as j) in combination
with the valves of the said beer or other pump, substantially
as described and illustrated. (3.) In improvements in beer
and other pumps, a cam or eccentric (as g) mounted upon a
spindle (as h) in combination with a rod or pin (as d), mounted
in bearings in juxtaposition to the valves of a beer or other
pump, substantially as described and illustrated. (4.) In

(as f) secured under a beer or other pump (as c) and con-
taining means for raising or opening the valves of the pump,

measuring-bottle to escape, and then open communication
from said aerated-water measuring-bottle to the beverage-
delivery spout to thereby allow the contents of the measur-
ing-bottle to flow out by gravity alone. (4.) A system of
valves for measuring and delivering alcohols, syrups, or
other flavouring - liquids synchronously (and in regulated
