The pressure at the top of the shaft is 0. They built a house at the top
and removed all the air from it. If they didn't, the air would continue to
flow into the shaft and end up in the solvent. This would go on until the 
pressure at the surface was to small to push more air into the shaft.

The air in the shaft came into it before it was sealed.
