A handpowered milling machine. It has a hollowed upper cylinder where the
unmilled grains are placed. The bottom of the upper cylinder has a "teeth" or
metal sheets attached in feather-like rows. These metal sheets will act as grinders. The
upper clyinder is placed atop a cylindrical hard wood with a larger diameter also
with a "teeth". A hole is bored in the upper cylinder one or two inches
off the center. It has a wooden handle and when the upper cylinder is rotated the grains
pass into the hole and out through the grinding "teeth". This kind of
milling machine is suitable for corn and not for rice. |
