The colliery "utensils" went up for sale in 1847 for Tarry.
"2 Horse Gins, ropes, tubs, trams, 4 sledge and other hammers, pinches, hacks, pit shovels, blasting gear, 15 fathom (??) rods complete, blacksmith's bellows and anvil &c."

Looks like drum windlass and gin were one and the same, as you said Coquet.
