This is all vaguely reminiscent of an oil well I saw in OK. Once.  The 
thing was driven off of an electric motor. 
As the shaft was slowly raised by the motor, you could see the dial on the
power meter spinning away. Then as the shaft was lowered, the dial took
a brief step backwards! I suppose this is indicative of insufficient
counter-weighting, but a rather amusing phenomenon.
