Photographer: Mark Hilton
Taken: August 1, 2018
Caption: 12-foot Band Wheel with the marker behind.
Additional Description: The big wheels on old pump jacks are "band wheels", which connect the pumpjack to an engine of one sort or another - steam in the old days, and oil or electric these days. A giant belt, in other words the "band", enables the engine to rotate the axis of the band wheel.
