(1) G 7000 X
Mounted a heavy iron winch on two 6 inch beams over pit, bolted fast. Bent a new 10 cm rope on the cylinder and attached the wooden cage prepared beforehand. Fastened with four steel wire ropes. Let down the cage and brought it up. Then I went down to test it. All in order. Round trip twelve minutes. The men worked out half the course recorded by Dunham yesterday but it is slow going owing to the care necessary to protect objects in room.
