A sinking tower !

 

An interesting sinking tower !


Pitily I cannot tell you the shaft this sinking tower was built for. The both heavy ropes are used for the hoisting of the waste material that has to be brought to the surface during the process of sinking and for the transportation of the miners to the shaft's deepest point. The thin ropes have to stabilize the tower.

Special thanks to Arno Hoffmann for sending me the CD with the photos. If the - pitily unknown - photographer does not want the pictures to be published here, please send me an e-mail.
