Small wheel for travelling fitted to base of each pole. Poles held in place by 3 chains a,b and c. Chain c can be opened to allow Aunt Sally to take up position so that the apex of the tripod (from wh hangs a pulley-block) is vertically above apex of the cock to be lifted. 2 iron bars of wh 2 ends are shown A and B) are driven in under the cock. Chain passed through pulley-block are attached; horse is yoked out of cable X and up goes your cock. Cart is back in under (after opening chain c). Cock is let down and cart, drawn off and Aunt Sally
