  You set the wells to run off the eccentric so they balance. Typically in the Bradford PA area we used this set-up for wells up to 2,000 ft or so, no problem. So long as they've not been (water)flooded, wells will pump "natural production" from a tight sand formation well over 100 years.

  And you could lay your hands on the rodline and tell when the well was pumped off (i.e. empty) and needed to be unhooked from the eccentric.

  There you go, stand on that flywheel. Every now and again an engine would kick back and throw a hungover oilwell pumper into the powerhouse rafters & break his neck.

My Anaconda: How Does Superfund End?

This video tells the history of the Anaconda Smelter, the effects it has has on the town and what the town is doing to restore itself.

Nice work--the narrator's embeddedness makes this a primary source! Let's not forget,though, that Arco-British Petroleum saved between $50 mill and $100 mill by turning the Old Works smelter site into a golf course ($18 mill) rather than a clean-up & removal remedy.

  Good work! $800 mill does seem like a lot for clean-up work, but consider that Dennis Washington, with profits from the Continental Pit copper mine just east of the Berkeley Pit, recently put $250 million into his new 332' yacht.
