    Scope & contentSummary Translation

    Booklet in the series “Menschen an der Arbeit” (People at work), it describes in detail the way in which flour is ground, how the mill works, and the maintenance work carried out by the miller.

    The description focuses on the post mill; the final two pages mention the main differences with the Dutch mill and the paltrok mill.

    The booklet is richly illustrated with black-and-white photos showing the processes and machinery described in the text. It also contains a diagram of the construction of a post mill, and another of the grinding process.The text is in Gothic script, apart from the two diagrams.
