Model of a Capstan, 's Lands Werf Amsterdam (possibly), c. 1780 demonstration model Model of a capstan in a wooden frame of two levels. It is a capstan for eight wind trees and has no games to prevent the decline. The wooden king extends to the lower level. Each pivot lamp has a slider inside with a pen that sticks out at the heel: with wheels, these sliders run over a sloping right under the drum, so that the pins slide up one by one when turning. With small piles at the top of the spindle lights, the sliders are put down again. This mechanism ensures that the line is shifting on the drum. Sc
