Answer:

Sheave wheel and hoist cable

Step-by-step explanation:

The sheave wheel is a pulley wheel that sits above the mine shaft. The hoist cable passes over the sheave wheel and then down the shaft of the mine. The sheave wheel reduces the sliding friction of the mine cable. The head frame is the structure that supports the sheave wheel.
