Still waiting to hear from the Fram museum, but from information received from Harvey Golden and Wefalck I am leaning away from the belt idea towards a drive chain. Belt or chain, raising the cargo derrick, hence the guide rollers, would provide tension and act as a sort of clutch...

I can always adapt the pulley on the anchor winch if necessary, but there is no information as to what it looked like on St. Roch. 

The missing link is the drive on the cargo winch, was there a separate gear that is not in my reference pictures, or was it wrapped around the warping drum?

That cargo winch is coming up next on my list!

Regards,

Bruce
