This is the reason why spelling is important , it's an aid to accurate communication.
You probably mean a Capstan.
This is the winch on a ship which sailors turned to haul up the anchor. It was a large vertical shaft with holes in to take horizontal poles which the sailors pushed round. The anchor cable was would round this vertical shaft.

I looked up Capstan, and found this -
A vertical cleated drum or cylinder, revolving on an upright spindle, and surmounted by a drumhead with sockets for bars or levers. It is much used, especially on shipboard, for moving or raising heavy weights or exerting great power by traction upon a rope or cable, passing around the drum. It is operated either by steam power or by a number of men walking around the capstan, each pushing on the end of a lever fixed in its socket.
Hopefully, it's what you're looking for.
Cheers

To be honest im no longer fairly beneficial i think of it would be a type one lever, the place the burden is on one ingredient of the fulcrum, and the utilized tension is on the different ingredient. in spite of the undeniable fact that the wheelbarrow has been around a protracted time, and it fairly is type 2?? lever, the place the burden and utilized tension are on one ingredient, and the fulcrum is on the different end. look it up in wiki, and im beneficial the 1st style of lever replaced into using archimedes.
