Rack and pinion operated paddle gear on Conder Green lock gates on the Lancaster Canal's Glasson Branch at Conder Green Mill near Glasson, Lancashire, UK. The windlass, or winding handle, is used to raise or lower a paddle, or gate, to control the water flow and later the level in the lock. Note the red-painted pawl, or catch, which keeps the paddle raised when the windlass is removed. | |
