Havent figured it out myself, there are several more of the same activity, 
what ever it is.
the more I look at those photos, I'm thinking perhaps it's a crude low 
volume salt brine pumping device
and the wheels/tires with the ramps are just a means of centering or 
leveling the pipe.

There are MANY mislabeled or misplace photos in the achive, and I.m 
wondering if this may be a set of those
that the photographer took WHILE he was covering the LSR attempt..

Here it looks like a pipe going through the center of the wheels.

and I'm pretty sure that its got something to do with this device ,
