Title
Winding Engine
Description

Haulage in deep, large mines required required more power and speed than that provided by a whim or whip, and powerful steam winding machines were used. Two separate cable drums run off the same shafting enabled one cage or kibble (mining bucket) to be raised as another was being lowered.
