Complete text
The iron rods are a thing. They are plural-named. The description is "The rods used to be in the window before you corroded them off. They seem to have replaced the bars in the window but left the old ones behind."
Understand "rod" as the iron rods.
Should the game choose when comparing iron rods against iron bars:
it is a good choice.
Before taking the iron rods when the iron rods are part of the winch:
now the iron rods are in the cell; [circumvents the "You can't take what's part of something" rule]
continue the action.
Instead of turning the iron rods when the iron rods are part of the winch:
try turning the winch.
