Summary
| Description |
English: Hickleton Colliery - over the driver's head The top of the driver's head is visible in his padded settle as he operates this large steam winding engine. The dial showing the cage position (also known as a 'miniature') is visible as is one of the marks on the drum used for precisely positioning the cage. The drum is bicylindroconical with two flat sections linked by a spiral rising from 16' to 28' diameter. The Gooch link reversing link is also clearly seen.
This photograph is taken from on top of one of the cylinders with a tripod arranged among the working drop valves etc. The engine was running and nobody told us that health and safety would prevent a shot like that - it probably would now. |
