Tackle Board and Sledge for Rope Making, Two trolleys that together form a rope shop. One is for the tensioning of the strands, the other for the actual twisting. Both have a rectangular body on four wheels with a built-in drawer. The trolley for tensioning the strands has a five-strand mechanism: a large sprocket that drives four small sprockets in the corners is operated with a crank. The hooks to which the strands are attached are mounted on the shafts of the gears and the gearbox ensures that the outer four rotate faster than the middle one, which also rotates in the other direction. The other trolley only has one hook, whereby the crank movement is transmitted via two gears., anonymous, Netherlands, c. 1800 - c. 1858, brass (alloy), wood (plant material), iron (metal), model: h 32 cm × l 34.5 cm × w 27 cm packaging capsule: h 27.5 cm × l 30 cm × w 25.8 cm h 38 cm × w 60 cm × d 42 cm
