3. Kelly
The heavy steel member, usually four or six-sided that is suspended
from the Swivel through the Rotary Table and connected to the
topmost joint of drillpipe to turn the drill stem as the rotary table
turns.

4. Kelly Bushing
A device that when fitted to master bushing transmits torque to the
kelly and simultaneously permits vertical movement of the Kelly to
make hole.

5. Master Bushing
A device that fits into the rotary table to accommodate the slips and
drive the kelly bushing so that the rotating motion of the rotary table
can be transmitted to the Kelly.
