'An Egyptian sakieh, or ox-driven bucket pump, Egypt', 1905.Artist: Underwood & Underwood
'An Egyptian sakieh, or ox-driven bucket pump, Egypt', 1905. 'This machine, known as a 'sakieh', is familiar to us, in a less primitive form, as the bucket- or chain-pump. A wheel which you see out yonder next to the river, as it revolves over the water, carries an endless band of palm rope, which hangs in a loop in the waters beneath the wheel. Distributed at intervals along this band are carthern jars, which, at the wheel revolves and the band moves, are carried down into the water, filled and continually raised to the top.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
