Raising the wind shaft

In 1899 the original wind shaft snapped. In 1901 it was replaced, and this is perhaps a unique picture in the annals of millwrighting in that it shows the replacement 3/4 ton cast iron shaft being raised 50 feet up by means of a single mast and rope tackle hauled by hand. The picture is in very poor condition and has required extensive work to reveal any detail
