Derricks These towering structures are sym¬ bols of the production of probably nature s most valuable and useful gift to mankind. Throughout the Southwest, and Texas especially, these derricks may be seen dotting the distant horizon. The predecessor of the derrick con¬ sisted of a single pole so gaged that a light piece of pipe and a bit could be suspended from it. This pipe was turned by hand and the hole seldom reached a depth of over a hundred feet. Four-legged wooden derricks were first used to get oil at great depth. Today the steel derrick has replaced the wooden one, some ex¬ tending nearly two hundred feet into the air and drilling to a depth of some eight or nine thousand feet. SENIORS
