Turning-bridge

Turning-bridge
Type of wooden drawbridge pivoted on an axle and working like a see-saw, with a counter-weight attached to the end nearer the gateway. This required a large chamber below the bridge to receive the counterweight. The Hemyock drawbridge is believed to have been the simpler hinged type with counter-weights on the hoisting cables.
