GEARED MILLS

Reading edition

Are furnished with wood and iron gearing—wooden cogs in the driving wheel. This does away with the noise and deafening clatter of the ordinary, or all iron geared mills. (See under head of “Gearing,” and “Under Runner Geared Mills.”) These cogs are of wide face, thus having a large bearing surface, and wear but slowly. Where there is one mill the shaft is long enough to receive the pulley and one journal box outside. We often put three run of burrs, two wheat and one corn, upon one continuous shaft. This makes a very compact arrangement. In this case the mills are detached by slipping the pinion or wheel out of gear, on a sleeve provided for the purpose.
