A sâqiya made of wood, Pakistan
This sâqiya is made by an expert. Every part is made with precision and careful thought. The rungs in the lantern pinion are shaped instead of it just being a cylindrical trundle. By this method, the surface strain - between the rungs - is reduced.

På grundlag af et fotografi i professor Humlums bog fra 1950 om byen Pirzada har jeg tegnet denne maskine. Ofte skygger store træer for solens ødelæggende virkning på de sarte træsamlinger. Her har man endog bygget et soltag.
