Removing the bars !

Here you can see miners removing the bars that are usually mounted in order to keep the pit cages stable during their ride up or down the shaft. The photo was taken in the Ewald 7 shaft in Herten (Germany).

I received this photo from Friedhelm. Many thanks for sending it to me ! If one of the persons visible in this photo does not want it to be published here, please send me an e-mail and I will remove the picture.
