CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Interesting postcard in view of all the news about natural gas drilling recently. As near as I can count it looks like 12 oxen per team. Notice the drill rig is almost all wood. Consider this picture is only about a century old, and the ancient Egyptians used the same type rig several thousand years ago. Photo from Richard Andre
