Model of a Life-Saving Cart for Shipwrecks, Rescue device for rescue operations in the event of shipwreck on a beach. It is a two-wheeled car with the wheels in the middle, the wheels have seven double spokes, around which blades are mounted, which can move up and down: this device probably serves to promote the rotation of the wheels with the aid of the weight of the blades that fall. The wheels are driven by a gear in a wooden frame in the middle, with a transmission of 8/45 in the opposite direction., Rijkswerf Rotterdam (attributed to), Rotterdam, 1832, wood (plant material), brass (alloy)
