Model of a Capstan with a Winch, Model of a winch spindle. Model of a capstan on a wooden floor. It is a pivot for eight wind trees with a winch in the head and four catches in the heel to prevent it from walking back. To use the winch, the head with the small brass cover plate is connected to the immovable king, who is placed in the reinforced floor with a square heel. The drum is provided with a toothed wheel under the head, which is driven by two cranks with pinions in the head, the drum therefore turns under the head. The cranks can be disconnected with wedges. To use the pivot with wind trees, the cover plate is removed and the head is attached to the drum with two wedges, so that the head and drum turn around the king. The drum has six cleats.
