I'd bet that fellow with the ballerina lamp mounted on his hood had a leg lamp prominently displayed in the front parlor window at home.

Re: T in front of "standard" oil derrick: When I was a kid, there were 4 of those rigs within 600 to 1500 feet of the house. A fifth well had a steel derrick, but retained the standard rig front. Two of the outfits were operational and pumping oil. One was powered by a Bessemer 25/30 HP single cylinder, 2 cycle gas engine, and the other was powered by a 35 HP Superior single cylinder 4 cycle engine. The other three were operated from a single 35 HP Superior single cylinder gas engine using pull rods laid along the ground to power underpull steel pump jacks sitting on the rig floors at the locations. I still have the powerhouse engine, and it still runs. The whole property was a mechanical wonderland.
