19th century illustration of a windlass for raising weights. A crank handle turns a shaft carrying a screw which links a toothed wheel to a drum. The windlass is an apparatus for moving heavy loads. Typically, a windlass consists of a horizontal cylinder (barrel), which is rotated by the turn of a crank or belt. A winch is affixed to one or both ends, and a cable or rope is wound around the winch, pulling a weight attached to the opposite end
