Model of a Dredger, Model of a chain dredger with a rock mill located on the front deck. The covered roller mill drives the chain via a gear with a long transmission shaft that runs below deck from the roller mill to the rear gear of the chain. The depth of the bucket, over which the chain with brass links and wooden blades runs, is controlled with a large vertical wheel with winch and hoists. The bin ends up on the aft deck and the mud is drained from behind through a gutter, the height of the gutter can be adjusted with a hoist. A hoist runs from a winch right on the port side via the yoke
