Prominent in figure 4 is an aque- duct, one function of which is to supply a walcrwheel in the house below, which in turn delivers power through the Stangenkimst to two open shafts. The reverse (fig. 5), an unusually fine view of the inner workings of a mine, shows, above ground, a t\pical horse whim driving a bucket windlass. Below ground is shown a crank-driven piston puinp typical of those driven by Stangenkunst. In this case, however, it is driven by an underground vertical treadmill. is the case with the Kehrrad, a bucket windlass driven by a reversible waterwheel which Agricola describes as his largest hauling inachine.'" '"Agricola, op. cil. (footnote 7), ed. Hoover, p. 199. His contemporary and fellow-townsman Mathesius equates the Kehrrad to the Bulgenkunst [Sarepla, p. 145, Nurnberg, 1571). According to Veith {op. cil., footnote 8, p. 286), Sebastian Miinster in his Cosmographei ... (p. 381, Basel, 1558), had previously mentioned its use in the mines of Meissen; and its introduction has been put as early as 1500 by Otto Vogel ("Christopher Pohlem und seine Beziehungcn zum Harzcr Bergbau," Beilrdge z"r Gescliichle der Technik und Industrie, 1913, vol. 5, p. 324.).
