About this work

Two millers to empty casks. This consists of a shaft with a ring at the top and arms turning in the other, forked end. One of the arms has a hole to reduce its weight, so that the arms usually hang vertically; thus it was lowered through a hole in a cask, the arms were set horizontally and the cask could be lifted.
