Default Re: i need this translated please

"winding wheels" = "poleas"

Cable cars are completely mechanical, and are run by huge winding wheels at a central powerhouse that pull a steel cable through a trench beneath the tracks. The car latches onto the cable with a grip that works like a giant pair of pliers.


Los funiculares son completamente mecánicos y se mueven mediante unas enormes poleas instaladas en la estación generadora eléctrica central que guían un cable de acero a lo largo de una ranura emplazada bajo los carriles. El vagón se sujeta al cable con unas mordazas parecidas a un gigantesco par de alicates.
