Thanks to Jim Oliver, I now know that the winding gear at the Boyds Mill cauld was to operate the sluice gates for the dam which fed the two mills upper and lower.
You can see a pic of the winding gear in my post here.
Fascinating stuff!

Hope you’re having your best summer ever, in spite of the weather, and that we’ll hear all about it when tourist season is over.
