A Cryptogram puzzle I was working on recently challenged readers to come up with 10 “adhesives” from given clues. I got nine of them—cement, glue, solder, etc. I finally got the last one by substituting known values from the other nine. As it turned out, the solution was “masking tape.”
What, though, does this have to do with hydraulics? Well, just as masking tape is used differently from most other types of tape, hydraulic pumps are differently from most other types of pumps. In most cases, fluid exiting a pump’s discharge doesn’t find its way back into the pump. This is what sump pumps, process pumps, and even medical pumps do.
