This shot provides a closeup of the gate lift pulleys, chain and rod. The rod is turned using a large diameter handle inside the shed. This wraps the chain around the larger pulley which in turn causes the coal gate to be pulled up directly under the smaller pulley. Coal then falls from the coal bin into the bucket to be hoisted up to the top of the tower. Photo by Dave Dye on May 28, 1989.
