A view into the cap. The brake wheel is to the left and drives the vertical main shaft via the wallower at bottom centre. The teeth on the brake wheel are wooden and mesh with the cast iron teeth on the wallower. The brown shaft is the windshaft that carries the sails at one end and is hollow for the striking gear that adjusts the shutters on the patent sails.
