tained as follows, that is to say:-
In order to reduce the labor in grinding, and adjust the power to the
required force, and also to simplify and reduce the expence in mill making
and grinding, so as to enable the farmer and housekeeper from being
dependent on the present practice of grinding, every article required to
be broke or ground may be performed by the application of rubbers or
crushers resting on their fulcrums, and are pressed against the revolving
body by means of leavers, weights, or springs. The rubbers or crushers acting
each on a separate axel will admit of any irregular surface, from a square to a
circle, to revolve against them, as each cau be loaded more or less by moving
the weights on the leavers farther or nearer to the fulcrum, or, if with springs,
by screwing them more or less down, as may be required. The rubbers or
crushers may be plain, grooved, circular sided, concave, or any other figure
best adapted for the substance to be broke or ground; the square or octagon
are best adopted for breaking cement, stones, bones for manure, chalk, mixing
clay, morter, &c. For breaking malt, beans, &c., one crusher is only wanted,
but for wheat, oates, barley, rice, or any flour or meal, the more rubbers
or crushers the finer the article will be ground, and the more flats there are
on the revolving body the more crushers can be applied to advantage.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Smart, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this First day of April, One thousand eight hundred
Inrolled the Thirtieth day of May, in the year of our Lord Oue
thousand eight hundred and fourteen.
