The sinking tower !

If you take a closer look at the photo you can discover the wheel in the tower's head. This wheel is used to lead the rope that comes from the hoisting machine into the shaft. The heavy ropes visible in the photo are used for the transportation of the tubs that can be seen in other pictures.

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.
