Model of a Capstan, Model of a capstan in a two-level wooden frame. It is a capstan for eight wind trees and has no catches to prevent it from falling back. The wooden king extends to the lower level. The drum is completely round, the molars do not protrude except at the heel where they are thickened and can move up and down. An inclined surface is arranged under the drum, as a result of which the molars move up and down during rotation and with their thickening move the line on the drum. The sloping surface can be removed from under the drum. Scale 1:10 (estimate)., 's Lands Werf Amsterdam
