Cách sử dụng
A capstan is a device used for lifting heavy objects or for pulling ropes or cables. It is often found on ships to raise and lower heavy things like anchors. It looks like a cylinder with bars or handles sticking out of the sides, and when those bars are turned, the capstan spins and can lift or pull heavy loads. It can also be used to control the tension of lines, as well as for winding and unwinding rope.
