Interesting series of photos!

What was the machine used for?

This machine used to draw water. A donkey walked around (iron in the last picture) And the gear was that the cans withdraw water of the well continuously (first picture)

Ah, that's exactly what I thought it was (I didn't think about the donkey, though)!!

I thought maybe a big strong man whipped that gear around like it was nothing!!
