First to cemment, cool. Motts, what is that crazy contraption?
An old hand operated crank to pull cable up from the lower floors or mine shaft.
Imagine all the noise in that place when it was running.
Creepy, but all the same, what an interesting subject!
Did you try it out Motts?
It looked a bit rusted...
I understand you're not exactly Conan the Urbexer. You're kinda built closer to Don Knotts. So I can understand not giving it a whack.. Although som WD-40 daily and about 10 years time ought to do it.
Walter Winchell
Looks like it was built for two!
