The diameter of the shaft !

 

The shaft's diameter !


This picture shows you a ring that will be mounted inside the shaft. These rings are used in order to collect the water falling down the shaft. You cannot see this very well, but this ring does not form an entire circle, but has a flat part on the opposite to where this photo was taken from. The reason for that is that different pipes are leading down the shaft - e.g. for the supply with compressed air - and there has to be enough space for them.
