Model of a Pile Driver on a Raft, Polychromed model on a floorboard that represents a raft. With this pile driver the piles can be driven vertically and obliquely. The rope from the pile driver goes from a capstan through a disc at the bottom of the rack to a disc at the top. The posts that guide the block rest on two boards, which can be slid in and out of the ground board and thereby determine the pile angle. A rope on which a pile is suspended runs through a second block in the top., anonymous, Netherlands (possibly), c. 1750 - c. 1800, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), rope, model: h 41.7 cm × w 66 cm × d 30.8 cm packaging capsule: h 43.5 cm × w 70.5 cm × d 34.5 cm
