Bogie with spoked iron wheels and frame onto which a cylindrical tank was welded, with an opening at the top for filling. Water was released through a perforated horizontal pipe with a tap on it. Driven by hand using a jointed rod. Rested on a trestle support. Provided to stations for watering flowerbeds. In the jargon it was known as the "Bonzetta" (a Lombard dialect word meaning oval-shaped barrel).
