General description:
Installation for three tread-wheel driven bucket-chains and a wheel with compartmented rim (incorrect restoration)
it was part of a sophisticated water-supply system. A runnel was seems to be connected with the ground level openings of the three long, narrow shafts and these must have been provided by a water lifting devices. Due to the great depth, only bucket and windlass or bucket chain system were the reasonable solutions.
the earliest example of water driven wheel.
