[edit] Edit 18 June 2007

I removed the example of a wheel turning on a dead axle, because that is not a simple machine. Also removed the picture for the same reason. I will find a suitable picture in due course, if no-one beats me to it.

Not having much luck. There are a few pictures on the net of large wheel and axle mechanisms in the roofs of cathedrals that were used to lift the stones, they would be excellent examples if we could get one of those. Particularly because the wheel looks like a wheel, where most windlasses have a simple handle. Jimbowley 13:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Finally found and uploaded a suitable uncopyrighted picture. Jimbowley (talk) 22:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
