Artifact

National Rig

Description

Engine and mechanical equipment inside a National rig in South America
The equipment is used to run the drawworks of the rig.
The engine weighed 10 tonnes and had no starter.
In order to start up the engine, oil was poured into the four fuel petcocks (light-coloured tubes). A worker would wrap a rope around the large wheel and attach one end to the back of a nearby car. The car would take off, pulling the rope and spinning the wheel which would fire up the engine.
