This shows the cast iron pit wheel, wallower and great spur wheel. One of the stone nuts is seen and this has wooden teeth inserted into an iron centre. The jacking gear to disengage it is clearly seen and it sits on a cross tree or tenter beam that can be raised or lowered to adjust the gap between the stones. The bracket at the top was associated with an auxiliary steam engine drive.
