I guess how high would be comparable to the Hudson; depending
on nozzle adjustment and force exerted by operator. I took some
measurements for bore and stroke:
Hudson .615 bore x 16"stroke
GS .685 bore
x 13"stroke
This calculates to 24% more bore area for the Hudson with 20%
less stroke.
The smoothness and ease of operation of the GS is remarkable. But I do most
of my spraying at or near ground level and a lot of pressure is not needed. I'd
say that a powered sprayer would best for higher pressures.

How high can the spray reach? Thanks for your advice.

I have a very good trombone that is very easy to use;
'about a third the effort of say the Hudson and others like that. The unit
is solid precision machined brass. I have used it for years and I'm sure
it'll last more than a lifetime if cared for.
What is different fom the others? Number one is there
are no springs in the check valves. Springs add a force you have to overcome
on each and every pump. The check valve balls are caged just right so only a
very small stroke is needed to seat the check valve ball and start
spraying. I'd say number 2 is that oiled leather on brass is low friction.
