was ridiculous.
The method Of grinding powder in
these mills is as follows. 1t is brought
to the mills from the composition mill,
where the saltpetre charcoal aud sulphur
have been mixed in proper proportions 1t
is put in lots OF about 300 pounds, on u
circular iron platform with raised sides,
on which run the two eleven ton rollers,
each at the end of horizontal axle driven
from the middle by cogs from the water
wheel beneath the mill. The lower grades
Of powder are ground an hour. That
which was being worked yesterday Is
ground for hours, with occasional stops
to dampen IT, The machinery Is stopped
and started outside OF the mills The
action of the rollers, which are followed
by rakes that stir she mass
up, thoroughly grinds together
aid intermingles every particle
Of the powder,a process that is necessary
for the manufacture of good powder. II
is dangerous as the heavy roller easily
cause heat and great friction, but the
men do not enter the mills while the
machinery is in operation.
