You will find an illustration of a horse whim in Robert Hunt, British
Mining (1887), p 591, with some dimensions etc on adjoining pages; and
in E H Davies, Machinery for Metalliferous Mines (1902), pp 75-7. There
is a replica whim constructed outside the Bersham Ironworks and Heritage
Centre, near Wrexham. There are reproductions of all three in my Metal
Mines of north Wales (1997).
