Framed Print of Besson's Fire Engine, 1571
Early pumpers used cisterns as a source of water. Jacques Besson (1540 - 1573) was a French inventor, mathematician, and philosopher, chiefly remembered for his popular treatise on machines Theatrum Instrumentorum (1571-72), which saw many reprints in different languages. Besson's work was a collection of his own new inventions with detailed illustrations of each engraved by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau to his specifications. Some of his designs suggested important improvements to lathes and the waterwheel. The Latin captions to the highly detailed drawings were sparse, however, which would seem to indicate that the text was probably produced in a hurry.
