Description

The model on display represents a naval winch on a reduced scale. The mechanism is fully operating thanks to its double-acting twin-cylinder steam engine and is equipped with various control and drive systems, including the reversing mechanism, an auxiliary power take-off and a band brake. The model was created in 1959 as a didactic activity performed by the shipyard apprentices of the Cantieri Navali Riuniti in Palermo.
