The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chevalement achevé en 1950, faisant partie de la seconde génération des chevalements en béton apparus dans les années 30. La machine d'extraction se trouve au sol, avec chevalement sans poussard, l'équilibre étant donné par la masse du bâtiment inférieur. Le puits existait depuis 1935 sous forme de "bure" (puits reliant deux galeries sans contact avec la surface) , puis fut creusé plus profondément. Le minerai extrait tombait sur une trémie, puis sur une bande transporteuse jusqu'au lavoir du Puits Pigeot. Ce chevalement est le dernier de la Ricamarie.

Headframe completed in 1950, forming part of the second generation of concrete headframes that appeared in the 1930s. The extraction machine is located at ground level, with headframe without counterweight, the balance being provided by the mass of the lower building. The shaft existed from 1935 in the form of a "bure" (shaft connecting two galleries without contact with the surface), then was sunk more deeply. The extracted ore fell onto a hopper, then onto a conveyor belt to the washery of Puits Pigeot. This headframe is the last one in Ricamarie.
