1.

Four lengths of pipe or tubing joined together. Used mainly by oil engineers and derrick workers.

"Well, you've seen oil derricks or pictures of 'em? You know

that little platform that runs around the outside of the derrick about halfway

up? Well, that's the fourble board. Well, you see, drill pipe comes in

lengths and you handle them with several lengths screwed together so as to

save time gettin' 'em in and out of the hole. Two lengths is a double, three

is a treble, four is a fourble."
