Winding drum. They were powered by gravity, the weight of the full slate wagon going down provided the power to pull the empty wagon back up the incline. HDR.
The brake assembly regulated the speed wagons on the incline. All winding drums are to the same design all over North Wales, somebody did the sums to calculate the best diameter for the drum, I
wonder who the designer was.
Last view before we go over the top.
Part of the village in the valley. HDR.
