De Marssumermolen, Marssum 57 cogs. This drives the "wallower" (31 cogs) at the top of the "upright shaft". At the bottom of the "upright shaft" there are two "crown wheels"' The upper "crown wheel", which has 17 cogs drives an Archimedes' screw. The axle of the Archimedes' screw is diameter and long. This screw is used to pump water into the polder. The lower "crown wheel", which has 43 cogs, drives a gearwheel with 38 cogs on the axle of an Archimedes' screw, which is used to drain the polder. The axle of the screw is diameter and long. The screw is diameter.
SS Archimedes lead to the adoption of screw propulsion by the Navy (see Legacy section below). With the conclusion of the Dover trials, "Archimedes" was placed at the disposal of Captain Chappell for a circumnavigation of Britain, which took place in July 1840. This voyage presented an opportunity to not only conduct further tests, but also to allow inspection of the technology by shipowners, engineers and scientists in ports throughout the country. "Archimedes" completed the 2006-mile voyage at an average speed in excess of 7 mph, and a maximum speed under ideal conditions of 10.9 mph. With the completion of this voyage,
