Model of the Lock for the Basin at Flushing, Rijkswerf Vlissingen, 1849 demonstration model Construction model of a lock with three pairs of doors in front of a dock. The model shows the improvements and repair work on the lock floor that were performed in 1847-1848. The lock doors are served with long trees on shore, so -called push presses. The tidal doors on the sea side of the lock open upwards; They have no spuits. The remaining two pairs of doors are ebb doors and open inwards; The middle pair has low spikes, the inner pair has spuits just below the low water level. A raised threshold has been applied between the flood doors and the middle ebb doors as well as on the lock side of the inner ebb doors. On both sides of the lock, a corridor runs just above the low -water level of the outer port to the dock; These corridors have two underground doors that are operated with Cape Standers upstairs. The middle doors are spouse lice and serve to keep the harbor at depth together with the underground corridors or "sewers". Scale 1:50 (scale on model).
