monkey winch

A device for exerting a strong pull; may be used to withdraw steel arches from disused roadways. It consists of a framework containing a hand-operated drum, around which a steel rope 50 ft (15.24 m) in length is wound. To hold the drum in position a ratchet device is used with both gears. A simple reversing mechanism that disengages the ratchet is also attached. The winch is firmly anchored when in use.
