			=====Description=====

	A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windlass '''Windlass'''] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_and_axle '''Wheel and Axle'''] is seen wherever there is a winding handle type arrangement ''(e.g. on a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winch '''Winch'''])''. They can be regarded as two different diameter pulleys locked together: the large one, described by the sweep of the handle, being used to apply the effort and the smaller one, being the diameter of the axle, used to lift the load.
