content: Edited film: when cereals are harvested in Anatolia, they are reduced to chaff by using threshing sleds whose undersides are covered with sharp flints (see Threshing Wheat with a Threshing Sled, E01779). These flints grow dull with use and must be replaced every year or so. A craftsman demonstrates this process as he furnishes the sleds with sharp new blades.
