Here's a nice demonstration of a rodline pumpjack powered by a two-stroke oilfield engine.  Engines like this would run these eccentric powers - the belt driven unit behind the engine. numerous rods would be attached to this power, and as it rotated it would pull and release steel rods that operated distant oil well pumpjacks.
