"an iron contrivance . . . " ("a kind of hydrant") I

place du Midi pump 1

In this undated postcard photo of the Place du Midi in La Ferté-Macé, we can see a woman leaning over some "kind of hydrant" or "iron contrivance" (Enormous Room 157). Could this be the pump where C and his fellow inmates went to "catch water"? For the answer, continue to "an iron contrivance . . . "  (page 2).
