This drives a 25 stave gear wheel which drives a "wallower" (30 cogs). The "wallower" drives a gear wheel with 31 cogs. This drives a cast iron gear wheel with 48 teeth. This drives the Archimedes' screw via a cast iron gear wheel with 60 cogs on the axle of the Archimedes' screw. This Archimedes' screw has an axle diameter of and is diameter overall. It is inclined
