Abstract
A vertical-shaft multi-stage pump has adjustable vanes on its lower stage. A vane angle operating mechanism has an operating shaft extending through a hollow portion of the drive shaft of the upper stage and a link mechanism connected to the operating shaft and the adjustable vane impeller for converting axial motion of the operating shaft into vane angle rotational motion. The pump is particularly suited for use in an underground drainage system.
