Levant Mine - the beam floor
Levant Mine - the beam floor
This is the beam of the 1840 double acting beam winding engine. It is, of necessity, surrounded by guards but I think in its working days there was none of this - the engineers were expected to keep out the motion without the need for physical barriers.
