Spinning wheels run on wires above a rocky shore

High above steep cliffs and a beach strewn with rocks, a small carriage with two grooved wheels runs along taut wires, pulled by a hauling rope; below lies the shore and part of a timber structure. Such spinning wheels carried the wire back and forth between the anchorages, laying the main cables wire by wire.
