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.
