I don't actually have historical documents, but I can't imagine that anyone would design a windlass that had to be dismounted before you could actually shoot the crossbow! And if it could stay attached which you shot, surely you wouldn't need to detach it and reattach it to cock the crossbow again. I just took it for granted that that was how it worked.
