![Narrowboat entering Aston Lock [no 26]. The Trent & Mersey canal has narrow locks [7ft wide] westwards from between Burton on Trent. by Christine Johnstone – 23 September 2020](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/64/89/6648942_71510c98_120x120.jpg)
![Canal lock ground paddle gear. Aston Lock, (No 26 on the Trent and Mersey Canal) provides a fall (or rise) of 8ft 8in (about 2·6 metres) in the water level.The geared ratchet on the ground paddle is operated using a right angled metal tool called a windlass. Winding clockwise raises the underwater paddle, allowing water to enter the lock very quickly through a conduit. It is good practice to operate the ground paddle(s) and partly fill the lock chamber BEFORE raising the gate paddle(s) (if any) when a boat is in the lock. This reduces the possibility of water passing through the gate (even more fierce) and flooding the front of the boat. Further good practice is to take the windlass off the spindle as the lock fills (or hold on to it). This will eliminate the possibility of a worn paddle mechanism slipping, throwing off the windlass, which could hurtle at high velocity into the operator's face, causing extensive rearrangement of his/her dental facilities! Thirdly, when lowering the paddle to shut off water ingress, the windlass should be held onto and wound anticlockwise. Just letting the ratchet drop can damage the underground gear, thus shutting the canal because the lock cannot be used.Narrow locks can have almost any combination of two, one or no ground paddles and two, one or no gate paddles.Aston Lock top end has one of each. Here endeth the lesson. ;-)[[[7086451]]]Person with windlass https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6363395 . by Roger D Kidd – 25 May 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/08/64/7086465_e5ea412c_120x120.jpg)
