"Luxor -- Hard to get a good picture of a sakieh -- a gadget for bringing up water for irrigation. These devices are scattered all through the fields, with camels, cows or water buffalo furnishing the power. Buckets spaced around the smaller wheel bring up the water and dump it into a ditch." [From Series II, Box 5, To Mary F. Green and "Falling Green" -- From Roger Brooke Farquhar, Jr.], [1953]
