    Scope & contentThe drawings completely detail the mill structure and its extensive water-powered flour and feed milling machinery. Four sheets present clear perspectives of the flow of wheat and corn through the complex milling processes. These are probably the most complete measured drawings of an existing American water-powered roller mill.
