It also gives any weight to
 Stone of small diameter that is required without hay ing it thick or high which makes 1t top-heavy.
 This mill is square frame made of wood or cast iron in the form of busk, with Bridge tree Spindle Balance Rne Driver, and Regulating Screw and grinds upon the same prlncipie as large ml olefIhS only in the Runner-Stone this being of great weight enables it to grind of grain with less power than any other mil portable and may be attached to Steam Water Horse or Hand power.
