Lock (water navigation) TM2027

sketchfab

Jonas Norberg crafted this wooden replica in 1761, drawing inspiration from Christopher Polhem's design for a lock used in water navigation systems throughout Stockholm. As Polhem's close collaborator, Norberg had intimate knowledge of the intricate construction details. This model served as a vital reference point, allowing for swift repairs whenever needed, instead of relying on sketches alone. Today, it resides within the Swedish Royal Model Chamber's impressive collection. The replica is now a prized possession of the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology, proudly bearing the catalog numbers TM 2027 (TEKS0021755) and TM2027.
