Capstan, cabestan, capstern, capston
| Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык) |
&c. a mechanical arrangement for lifting great weights. there is a variety of capsterns, but they agree in having a horizontal circular head, which has square holes around its edge, and in these long bars are shipped, and are said to be “swifted” when their outer ends are traced together; beneath is a perpendicular barrel, round which is wrapped the rope or chain used to lift the anchor or other great weight, even to the heaving a ship off a shoal. now, in most ships where a capstern is used to lift the anchor, the chain cable is itself brought to the capstern. the purchase or lifting power is gained by the great sweep of the bars. a perpendicular iron spindle passes through the whole capstern, and is stepped into a socket on the deck below the one on which it stands. in some cases capsterns are double in height, so that bars may be worked on two decks, giving more room for the men.
