If you tour gold country in Northern California, you will see old Pelton wheel applications. One I saw was a big Pelton wheel inside a machine shop/cast iron foundry. All the equipment was driven via overhead shafts and leather belts. I was there when they started up in the morning. It was a pretty good thrill to hear the Pelton wheel and machinery coming to life.
