Despite the interest of the six-cylinder pump and the importance Taqī al-Dīn attached to it, he described it briefly in Al-Turuq al-Saniya fī al-'ālat al-rūhaniya. In the Arabic MS 5232 preserved in Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, this description holds on three pages (pp. 36-38) (see fig. 21, 22 and 23).
