This cut represents our Portable Upper Runner Mill. The heavy runner in addition to being built in balance is provided with five improved standing and running balance weights, adjustable with screws. (See under head of “Standing and Running Balance.”) This mill has the self-tramming irons set forth under its proper head; improved silent feed rig; wrought iron spindle with steel ends; steel cock-eye in runner stone; a tram step to tram by means of screws; the oil fountain bush and followers; pine stave curb or hoop banded with iron under walnut finish; stones faced and furrowed, of a good selection of French burr, of sharp even quality, and other additions and advantages not necessary to mention, all made complete with pulley as shown in the cut, or gear as shown on page 16, and secured in a strong ash husk frame. The step-irons used in this mill admit of our using a much longer spindle without making top of mill higher than usual. The principal improvements on this mill have been secured to us by two distinct Letters-Patent.
