Oilfield Powerhouse scene with wooden cooling water tank for cooling a Cooper Bessemer engine inside the Powerhouse. These were my Dad's leases (Carl W. Stevens) and he is the one in the light colored clothing.
Also a Walking Beam pump jack scene powered by a Superior Gas Engine. This pump jack had a smaller engine house. It also had a water tank next to it for cooling the engine. Attached to the pump jack was a rod line running off in the distance which operated an under-pull pump jack (with W. C. Norris bearing blocks) on a water well. The water was pumped back to keep the cooling tank full.
