Conclusion
Though Polished rod transducer is quick and easy to install, it
may not represent actual pump action every time.
Any inherent bent or bent induced in polished rod will affect
load recording by PRT.
Horseshoe measures load directly, any inherent bent or any
induced bent will have no effect on recording of load.
