The photo below shows a road roller which has seen its better days in Quetta. It is now preserved as a monument by Quetta municipality. Noting a boiler I can safely say that it was steam powered. Also notice a huge fly-wheel on the frame. Another ovbvious thing is how our ‘awam’ has put advertisement fliers on the roller’s drum wheels. Somebody has torn them but the thin layer of paper remains. What other details do you see here?

Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
I am glad that they have tried to cordon off the area.
Now, only if they could chain it off.
Slow day, huh?
I like how you refer to the perpetrators as the ‘awam’
Poor visibility for the driver :)
I like it’s “Rack-and-pinion Steering”.
and of course dpn’t forget brakes.
