Ron grew up in Wendover (although not born 'til the late 40s - early 50s).  I
asked him about the wheels connected with pipes -- and here's his response:

Begin forwarded message:

What a mystery!  Besides the wheels all hooked together there is a paddle
wheel of some sort and a device spraying water out in the middle of the pond.
Must be some sort of test operation being done by the potash company back
then.  I assume these were taken in 1937 like the Eyston photos.

His comments include other photos from the same spread.
