I read about that one Cecil but it had two pipes going down in the casing 
didn't It?
The kind of well like my folks had and probably like David's folks was just 
a 1 1/2 or maybe 2" pump pipe driven in the ground.

Goulds was one of the first pump manufacturers todevelop the injector
type of 2 stage well pump that took a small part of the outflow and
injected it at the bottom of the sell to help the pump raise the water
to the top of the well.
