Illustration: In the shared courtyard of a row of wooden tenements, a resident hauls a wooden bucket up from a circular stone-lined well. The rope runs over a simple overhead pulley, and the newly emerged bucket spills a little water back into the dark opening. A neighbor waits with an empty carrying pail.
