This 1903 picture of the Threshing Crew has a large machine at the right that is the engine for furnishing power to run the threshing machine. The long belt transmits the power from the engine to the separator, The huge pile of material in the background is the refuse straw and chaff that has been winnowed from the wheat and discharged through the long pipe resting upon the side of the mound.
