The introduction of this article currently claims "...the chain runs through a tube...". However, the illustration shows a series of jugs along a chain, without any tube.

What is the best way to fix this little inconsistency?

Does that illustration really show some other kind of pump? If so, what is "pulling jugs along a chain" pump named? A Persian wheel "Persian wheel"?

Or does that illustration of "pulling jugs along a chain" accurately describe a chain pump? If so, the text need to be updated to describe "pulling jugs along a chain", eliminating the "through a tube" -- but then what is the "pushing stuff through a tube" pump named? A rope pump?
