They support hoist and transport workers and materials in and out ofthe underground mine. At Vuvuzela mine they have experienced wear and tear problems which resulted in frequent problems in the functioning of their Headgear.  \nTheir technical team suggested that a new rope driven mineshaft headgear should be built. As a class design a headgear model which will help Vuvuzela mine. It should be wire rope driven, it must be freestanding, should include more than one mechanism and should not be taller than 75 cm. It must be done in class and learners have to be grouped. It must be a working model.  \n2.1.1 Identify the problem in the scenario.
