Model of a Pump Windlass, Model of a roasting spindle on a floorboard. The octagonal drum, suspended between two cheeks that form the roasting spindle with two servants each, is also equipped with small drums outside the cheeks. The roasting spindle is operated by two wind trees on a yoke on the strut in the middle: two rails run around the drum, on which brake mechanisms run that block with an upward movement and are free when they fall, and which are each on one side yoke. The connecting rods between yoke and brake mechanisms can be set in two positions for two forces. The strut in the center also has five metal catches, which engage in the gear portion of the drum to prevent it from rolling back. The cheeks can each be taken apart in two halves. Scale 1:10 (estimate)., Grofsmederij Leiden, Leiden, c. 1852, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), model: h 22.8 cm × w 49.1 cm × d 29 cm packaging capsule: h 27.5 cm × w 54.5 cm × d 34.4 cm
