capstan for merchant ship

[Boccherini]

Does anyone have pictures / drawings of anchor deck capstans for merchant ships from around 1860? The plans are lacking in any real detail. This is what I have to work with at present:

 

 

Thanks,

Grant.

Grant,

 

This one's a slightly different pattern at the top, but I think you get the idea.

This one is from the Dunbrody replica ship - the original was built in the 1840's.

Attached is an article from 1831 showing a compound capstan.  Can also be found via Google books at http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Transactions_of_the_Society_Instituted_a.html?id=mlQ1AAAAMAAJ

Let's make a difference. Capstan is with vertical axel. Windlass is with the horizontal axel.

Both a capstan and a windlass showing on the plans from grant.  Here is a drawing from China Tea Clippers by George Campbell (1954) of both a capstan and a windlass.

Gentlemen,

I am grateful for the all pictures, very helpful. Thank you.

John, the beard makes the picture. Give him a big hat and guitar......ZZ Top.

 

Regards,

Grant.
