And now we invite the attention of -those interested to the articles of our designing and make, fully -believing a careful investigation and comparison with the work of any -manufacturer will convince them of its excellence. Our work being -represented in OVER ONE THOUSAND FLOURING MILLS is some evidence of its -practical merits. NO EXPERIMENTS, BUT GET THE BEST. We have files of -letters and statements that tell of the costly experiences of those -having bought new and untried machinery. - -The mill of to-day of whatever dimensions must be simple, compact, -efficient, durable and cheap. - - -THE FOLLOWING POINTS - -have claimed our special study to obtain the best results in the -different locations, and purposes required. - -1st. The best wheat scouring and separating machinery. - -2d. The quality of burr stones required, best speed, draft and form of -furrows, and best mode of driving them. - -3d. Numbers of cloth, amount of bolting surface required, best -arrangement of numbers, &c. - -4th. Propriety of regrinding, how best to grade the offal for this -purpose, as well as other requirements of flour mills. - - -COMBINED HUSKS - -with two to four run of stones varying from two to four feet diameter, -and all in one substantial frame, spindles being long and arranged for -the gearing and lower part of husk to be in the basement of the -mill-house on an independent foundation, are made complete in our works, -carefully put up and adjusted, marked, taken apart, small pieces boxed -and otherwise prepared for shipment and ease of putting up. This plan -was first adopted by us in the year 1867; since that time we have put -out considerably over one hundred run of stone on this plan, all -receiving the highest commendations of the owners. - - -OUR PORTABLE MILLS - -are in extensive use, but by careful observation we have found the means -of improvement, and within the last few years have revised our patterns, -and we say, with entire confidence, all things being considered, that we -make the best heavy husk portable mill in the market, they having none -of the objectionable features so common in mills of this class. - - -PARTICULAR ATTENTION - -is directed to OUR COMPLETE GRINDING AND BOLTING FLOUR MILL adapted to -the special demands of a custom mill. Those now made have all the -improvements of value to the present date, and furnished at a price so -reasonable that every town or neighborhood of sufficient demands can be -supplied; good flour and yield guaranteed. - - -SELF TRAMMING, DRIVING AND BALANCE IRONS - -as improved, are extensively used, and in brisk demand. These are no new -and doubtful experiment. See the cuts and description, and the defects -of other modes of driving irons will readily be understood. We are -prepared to execute - - -DRAWINGS AND PLANS - -with description, bills of material required in the construction of -mill-house all ready to receive the machinery, showing also the location -of mills and machinery in the building. This is of special advantage, as -it can be turned over to the carpenter or contractor for execution, thus -saving trouble in knowing the cost before you begin, as well as knowing -where to strike. - - -OUR ADVANTAGES. - -Our whole attention is devoted to this particular line of manufacturing, -with special tools, machinery and permanent buildings built and adapted -expressly for the purpose, at a great expense. We are thus enabled to -conduct with system and accuracy the production of good work. We have -advantages in location, as a glance at a map of the States will show; we -are central, in ready access to lumber, coal and iron, (other makers -both east and west of us are supplied in a great measure, some -altogether, with hard lumber from our State.) We have good Railroad -shipping facilities in all directions, and purchasers can have their -work safely delivered almost at their own doors at low shipping rates. - -With these advantages we are able to compete with any factory, east or -west, saving time, money and risk to the purchaser. - -[Illustration] - - - - -MILL STONES. - - -This is one of the specialties of our business. It has been built up -from small beginnings to one of the largest west of New York. We keep a -large stock of burr blocks from which to make selections. Hence if we -should not have on hands, built up, the sized stone or quality that is -wanted, we can give our customers just what they need on very short -notice. Our facilities for turning out first-class work of this kind, -are equal to any in the west. Having in our employ men experienced in -the manufacture and use of burrs, we are able to furnish our customers -just the quality of goods they need for their particular class of work. - -[Illustration: FACE OF MILL STONE.] - -We are well aware of the importance of a good mill stone to profitably -flour wheat, and give this department the most careful attention. For a -description of our method of building and backing up runner stones, we -refer the reader to the article following, under the head of “Building -and Balancing Runner Stones.” Where our customers prefer to do all the -mill-wright work in their mill, we are prepared to make in addition to -the burrs, such shafting, gearing, spindles, irons and machinery as they -may need. - -[Illustration: BACK OF STONE.] - - - - -Building and Balancing Stones. - - -We put all runner stones on a point or cock-head, and keep them in -balance while “backing up;” consequently they are as near in standing -and running balance as they can be, by this means. We have testimony to -the fact, that a number of stones we have made (all balanced upon the -old plan of a cock-head at the center,) are in such perfect balance that -if the wheat is exhausted in the hopper, the face of the runner _will -not touch the bed-stone_. The importance of balancing on the true -principle, is mostly overlooked. In a mill properly balanced, the stones -will keep a better grinding face with one-half the time and labor -required if they are not thus balanced. Particular attention must be -paid to _keeping_ the runner in balance, as after leaving our works, the -cement dries out in such a manner as to sometimes throw the runner out -of both standing and running balance. For a description of the means we -provide to do this important work of balancing, see the cuts and -description under head of “Standing and Running Balance.” - -We put _iron backs_ on our under-runners, to protect the stone from -wearing out of balance. - - - - -Standing and Running Balance. - - -Millers as a rule know that a stone in standing balance is not always in -running balance, and _vice versa_, yet they are well aware that a stone -should be in both. The reason these two balances do not always exist at -the same time, or why the _light_ side of a stone standing should seem -the _heavy_ side on running, is not clearly understood, and hence the -difficulty in obviating the trouble. The importance of a correct -standing balance and at the same time a true running balance, cannot -well be over-estimated. Suppose the balancing weights in a runner are so -adjusted that the stone stands in balance on the cock-head when raised -above the bed-stone, but on starting, instead of its face remaining true -and running steady, one side droops, and it runs with an apparent -vibration or oscillation of the face. It will be found, however, upon -examination, that it will always run with the same side low--going to -show that the difficulty is centered in one certain point. - -[Illustration] - -In these cuts are shown the improved balance boxes adopted by us. The -one on the right is the box complete. They are placed in the runner with -the rounding part in contact with the band, with the lid of the box a -little below the plaster back. The figure to the left illustrates the -inner adjustable box and screw for adjusting the same when in the stone. -It will be noticed it has two parts divided by a partition. The cover to -this inner box shown in the middle figure is secured with a screw, and -fits down upon the box and close over the division, so that either side -may be used when the weight is wanted at a point between any two of the -balance boxes. We put five of them in a runner stone. This number is -deemed entirely sufficient. They are made of cast-iron and fit up in -good style, the wrought screws being all tapped into the iron. We find -this balance box gives the miller entire control of the runner, and easy -to operate, simply by removing the curb and letting the stone rest in -position. A wrench is all the tool needed; the weights when in position -are not subject to derangement, as those ordinarily used. - -Now that we have the means explained by which this important work is to -be done, next comes the question, How shall I do it? First, we would -say, put the runner in standing balance in the usual manner, and -lowering the required weight to the bottom of the boxes. In mills with -the old style of stiff driving irons the spindle and driver must be -_carefully_ trammed to the runner, as well as a proper bearing and a -good fit of the cock-head into the cockeye; unless this is attended to -it will be no use to proceed. Where our self-tramming driving irons are -used, the process of putting in a balance will be a pleasure instead of -a long disagreeable process, and it will be more perfect than is -possible with any other appliance for this purpose. - -The runner being in standing balance, place two boards planed evenly and -⅜ of an inch in thickness between the stones, (they may be 4 to 8 -inches wide) allowing the ends to project sufficiently to fasten -securely to a block or piece of timber fastened to the husk; place them -about midway between the spindle and outer edge of stone, and put the -stone in motion, letting it down upon the boards until its face runs -steady and true; then turn off the plaster back perfectly true with the -face, from a firm rest properly supported; now try the standing balance -again. By turning off the back it may have been changed. Next find the -light side of the stone by elevating the runner from the boards, and run -it as fast as it will bear without too much vibration, as in cases where -the stone is much out of balance the full speed should be approached -gradually in the process. Hold a pencil against the rest plank and -approach it slowly until it touches the turned back of the stone, say 4 -to 6 inches in from the band or skirt. It will of course mark the side -which runs high. The principle or real cause of this side of the stone -running high is that the center of gravity or weight on this side is too -low, (below the cock-head and point of suspension,) while the center of -weight on the side that runs low is too high and above the center. To -change this so as to bring the center of weight of each side -respectively on the same level, is what we must accomplish. - -As we know which side of the stone was high, now take, say two to six -pounds, as the case may require, of iron, broken into small pieces, or -shot, and take one-half of the amount and put into the inside box -screwed to the top of the box on the side that runs high, and the other -half in the box or boxes opposite, and lowered by the screw into the -bottom of the balance box. Then test the stone and make a new mark, add -weight carefully until the face runs true up to the full grinding speed. -Be careful to divide the weight, as it may be added, so as not to -disturb the standing balance. - -Standing balance is simply an equal weight on all sides. - -Running balance is having the center of gravity just as far from the -face on one side as the other. - -Irregular motion, and no matter how fast, will not affect the runner -when balanced as we have explained. - -If this important item is properly attended to, as well as keeping the -stones in good flouring face, there will be less killing of the life of -flour, and allowing middlings and unclean bran to escape. The value of -the flour, both as regards nourishment and health, depends on the amount -of nutritious, aromatic and saccharine properties retained in the flour -which the wheat contains. - -This result depends upon the flouring process the meal has been -subjected to between the stones. On the amount of these properties in -the flour also depend the weight and sweetness of the loaf when baked; -likewise its light and white qualities when used for any purpose. - -[Illustration] - - - - -BOLTING CLOTHS. - - -There is a great deal said and published by those who furnish cloths, -concerning the merits of the brand of cloth they sell, and demerits of -others, so that millers are at a loss where to buy, when there is so -much difference of opinion. When bolting cloth is wanted, all we can ask -is to address us for samples to examine. If the cloth is ordered at -once, and you want privilege of examining at express office before -paying for same, please state it in the order. In the examination of -Bolting Cloths parties are often led astray; some brands of the French -and Swiss appear even, smooth and heavy; they are well sized with a kind -of gum and sugar of lead, but when used awhile their bad qualities are -betrayed by the uneven and fuzzy appearance. - -[Illustration] - -The cloth kept in stock and for sale by us is the brand of “Dufour & -Co.’s Old Dutch Anchor,” acknowledged by the most experienced -mill-wrights and millers to be THE BEST. We have it imported direct by -the only importer of this kind of cloth in the United States, and get it -as low as any of our competitors. We have tested this cloth, not alone -by long use, but by thoroughly washing and rubbing out all the sizing -from a piece of this, as well as the other brands, and comparing -carefully the weights and texture of each before and after the process. -As the result we have found more silk in the Dufour Cloth than any other -brand, as well as more firmly locked thread and even texture. We make -cloths up in large quantities; have at times ten to fifteen on the way. -We require the length of the reel, number of ribs, measurement around -the reel, and distance from center to center of ribs, to enable us to -make a good fit. - - - - -UNDER RUNNER PULLEY MILLS. - - -[Illustration] - -The above engraving shows our PORTABLE UNDER RUNNER MILL, as improved. -For grinding wheat, corn, feed, or flouring middlings, they are inferior -to none. The runner is balanced upon a steel point or cock-head, -projecting into a steel seat. Argument is no longer necessary to prove -to intelligent millers the advantages of a cock-head mill over those -having the runner stone secured rigid to the spindle. The driving irons -in this mill are those shown under head of “Self-tramming Mill Irons.” -No mill is perfect without them; with them they are more desirable for -wheat grinding than any other under-runner mill. - -The bed stone is stationary in the upper part of the husk frame, and is -turned over on heavy hinges when necessary to sharpen the burrs. Four -stiff rubber springs around bolts, are provided above the bed -stone-frame, holding it down while grinding, for the important duty of -allowing said bed-stone to yield up in case any hard substance enters -between the stones. In this way we prevent the liability of breakage, -and overcome the very popular objection to all other mills having the -under stone to run. In addition we provide a metallic bush arranged to -oil collar of spindle while mill is running. The curb is made of pine -staves, and banded with neat iron bands. We furnish either damsel or -silent feed as desired. The runner has a cast iron back to prevent any -inclination to wear out of balance. The husk is made of hard wood and -very strong. Many other points of excellence could be mentioned. The -improvements are protected by Letters-Patent. - - -------------+-------------+---------------+------------- - Diameter of | Diameter of | Width of belt | Revolutions - Stones. | Pulley. | to drive. | per minute. - -------------+-------------+---------------+------------- - 26 inches. | 18 inch. | 7 inch. | 440 - 30 inches. | 20 inch. | 8 inch. | 400 - 36 inches. | 24 inch. | 10 inch. | 330 - -------------+-------------+---------------+------------- - -[Illustration] - - - - -GEARED MILLS. - - -[Illustration] - -OUR UNDER RUNNER GEARED MILLS - -Are substantially the same as set forth on page 14, excepting they are -provided with heavy gearing, horizontal shaft, pulley and boxing lined -with anti-friction metal. The gear is faced off in a lathe before the -cogs are put in, the pulley is turned and balanced, all being fitted up -in the best manner from new patterns, strong and in good proportion. We -have the best and smoothest running geared mill in the market. - - - - -UPPER RUNNER PULLEY MILLS. - - -[Illustration] - -This cut represents our PORTABLE UPPER RUNNER MILL. The heavy runner in -addition to being built in balance is provided with five improved -standing and running balance weights, adjustable with screws. (See under -head of “Standing and Running Balance.”) This mill has the self-tramming -irons set forth under its proper head; improved silent feed rig; wrought -iron spindle with steel ends; steel cock-eye in runner stone; a tram -step to tram by means of screws; the oil fountain bush and followers; -pine stave curb or hoop banded with iron under walnut finish; stones -faced and furrowed, of a good selection of French burr, of sharp even -quality, and other additions and advantages not necessary to mention, -all made complete with pulley as shown in the cut, or gear as shown on -page 16, and secured in a strong ash husk frame. The step-irons used in -this mill admit of our using a much longer spindle without making top of -mill higher than usual. The principal improvements on this mill have -been secured to us by two distinct Letters-Patent. - - -------------+-------------+---------------+-------------- - Diameter of | Diameter of | Width of Belt | Revolutions - Stones. | Pulley. | to drive. | per minute. - -------------+-------------+---------------+-------------- - 30 inch. | 20 inch. | 8 inch. | 360 - 36 inch. | 24 inch. | 8 inch. | 300 - 42 inch. | 30 inch. | 10 inch. | 240 - -------------+-------------+---------------+-------------- - - - - -ALL OUR PULLEY MILLS - - -Are furnished with our improved low down Set Screw Step, giving a -spindle one-fifth longer than any other mill with same height of hopper, -and constructed in the ordinary manner. - -With this step the spindle is trammed by means of set screws, thus -making it more readily and accurately adjustable, at the same time -avoiding the liability of getting out of tram. This step is so -constructed as to avoid changing from its true position or out of tram, -when the runner stone is raised or lowered by the lighter screw. The -_husks_ of these mills are made of ash timber, strongly bolted together -with wrought iron joint bolts. We furnish turned iron pulleys balanced -and keyed to the spindle, so they can be raised or lowered at pleasure. -The curbs around the runners are of the kind shown and described under -head of “Mill Curbs or Hoops.” The feed rig, either our improved silent, -or shoe and damsel, as may be wanted by the purchaser, or for the -purpose required. - - - - -Attaching and Driving. - - -It will generally be found most desirable to drive our pulley mills from -a horizontal shaft and pulleys, with reel belts and tightning pulleys in -a movable frame, or quarter-twist belt. - -Place the mill upon a solid floor or firm foundation with the bed-stone -level; cleat around the posts, and bolt through two of the lower ties; -if room is precious a platform can be placed over the belt or belts -running from the line-shaft to the mill. This shaft should be from -thirteen to fifteen feet from the mill spindle, to give sufficient -length of belt. - -The center of the mill pulley and driver must not be in line, but as -follows: When the reel belt plan is adopted, _place the center of the -mill pulley four or five inches below the top of the driving pulley that -runs from the mill, and the side of the mill pulley that runs towards -the driving pulley in line with the center of the driving pulley, then -place the idle or tightning pulley in a sliding frame on the under side -of the slack belt near the driving pulley, and of the proper height and -angle to lead the belt squarely on the mill pulley_. - -When locating the mill to run by “quarter twist belt,” place thus: -_Upper or lower side of the driving pulley, which runs towards the mill, -should be five or six inches above the center of the burr pulley_, and -the _side of the burr pulley that runs towards the driving pulley must -be in a line with its center_. In attaching the bolt it will be observed -that its position depends somewhat upon how the elevator foot and -cooling conveyor are placed. It will be found best in most situations to -put the cooling conveyor and elevator foot entirely below the floor. It -is a good plan to set the Portable or in fact any kind of a mill on a -foundation entirely below and independent from the floor of the house. -The reel belt plan of driving from a pulley on a horizontal shaft, even -if a large one, will make no edge strain on the belt whatever, and in -stopping and starting is of great convenience. We have it shown in a -small way in the cut, Fig. 3, under head of “Complete Grinding and -Bolting Mills.” Where we furnish the mills, we always, when requested to -do so, send draft and plans showing how to set up and arrange all, so -that it will be a success, and without additional charge. - - - - -GEARED MILLS - - -Are furnished with wood and iron gearing--wooden cogs in the driving -wheel. This does away with the noise and deafening clatter of the -ordinary, or all iron geared mills. (See under head of “Gearing,” and -“Under Runner Geared Mills.”) These cogs are of wide face, thus having a -large bearing surface, and wear but slowly. Where there is one mill the -shaft is long enough to receive the pulley and one journal box outside. -We often put three run of burrs, two wheat and one corn, upon one -continuous shaft. This makes a very compact arrangement. In this case -the mills are detached by slipping the pinion or wheel out of gear, on a -sleeve provided for the purpose. - -[Illustration: SINGLE REEL BOLT. - -Lower part of Elevator and Cooling Conveyor not shown.] - - - - -SINGLE REEL BOLT--Complete, and Dimensions. - -(See preceding page.) - - -Our bolts are so well known that a full description seems superfluous. -Their constant use for fourteen years has suggested some marked changes, -which together with a brief outline of the bolt itself, we will -describe. The object gained is a more efficient bolt for custom work, -either for a Portable Mill or any flouring mill however large or small, -where a bolt is wanted specially adapted to the demands of custom -grinding; at the same time a bolt that can be shipped to any point on a -navigable river or railroad in the United States or Territories. We have -already sent a number of them into Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. -Also, Texas, Kansas, Georgia, &c., &c. When so ordered they are taken -apart and boxed, previously marked how each part belongs, and drafts and -description of how to set it up, sent so that one at all skilled can put -it up in the mill and have it ready to run in two to three days time. -For those residing within a few hundred miles of our works, we mostly -send on open cars or boat, well protected by paint and varnish, and out -of the great number shipped within ten years past, have not had a single -one at all damaged that we know of. They are made in large quantities, -the parts being duplicated and cut out from patterns, and by machinery -adapted to the purpose. The lumber contained in them is thoroughly -seasoned, and selected of the best quality. The parts usually sent with -them unless otherwise ordered are: - -1st. All the gearing and shafts required, with supporting frame and -bearings for the elevator head, spout, gear and shafts. - -2d. Extra heavy cloth of Dufour & Co.’s Dutch Anchor brand made up to -fit the reel, with strips of ticking to come in contact with the ribs of -reel, and proper arrangement of numbers to make flour that will bear -inspection. This is generally sent by express in a separate package. - -3d. The elevator complete, as follows: forty feet of 4½-inch leather -or gum belt, thirty 4-inch heavy tin, iron banded, cups, with improved -copper clasp fastenings, head and foot with turned pulleys in them, -including an outside pair of bevel or spur wheels or turned pulley to -receive power. (See cut of elevator head and foot under head of -“Elevator, Cups and Fastenings.”) - -4th. A cooling conveyor geared by suitable wheels to the shaft in foot -of the elevator, so that it can be located in any direction to suit the -situation. To fill some special orders we have put the cooling conveyor -on top of the chest; in most cases it is best to have it below. The -frame work of the bolt is made of hard wood and well bolted. Conveyor -for flour and one for returns full length of bolt; conveyor flights are -of hard wood; cut offs are provided so that one-fourth, all or any -degree of the flouring cloth may be used for fine flour, at the option -of the miller. - -TABLE OF DIMENSIONS. - - -----------------------------------------+----------------- - Length of Reel. | Extreme Length. - -----------------------------------------+----------------- - For 26 and 30 inch mill 16 feet. | 18½ feet. - For 30 and 36 “ “ 18 “ | 20½ “ - For 36 and 42 “ “ 20 “ | 22½ “ - For 42 and 48 “ “ 22 “ | 24½ “ - -----------------------------------------+----------------- - -They are 3 feet 6 inches wide and 6 feet 2 inches high to top of -elevator. - - - - -PORTABLE MILL AND BOLT. - - -In our portable Mill and Bolt we have condensed all the advantages -required of a custom mill in making a prime article of flour and much -better suited for the purpose. We have not been sparing in the material -necessary to make every part strong and durable, and they will bear to -be continually used with a strong power without any part yielding in the -least. The bolts are arranged for making all the cut-offs for changing -the grade of the flour, thus using more or less bolting surface, or -making more or less returns, as may be found necessary. It makes a quick -and even discharge of flour from the flour spout, there are no hoppers -or anything for the clogging of flour, and every customer gets his own -flour from his own wheat. This is of great advantage, and if not pretty -fully accomplished creates dissatisfaction with customers. The Bolts in -connection with our Mills are of ample capacity when the grain is in -proper condition to make good flour. They are made much larger and in -more roomy chest than ever before. They are supplied with our improved -_percussion apparatus_. This has now been in use in its present style -for over ten years, with perfect success. It is composed of three sets -of hinged arms, or knockers, three in each set, secured to every -alternate rib of the reel inside, gently tapping the ribs on the -downward or empty side of the reel, thus not forcing the flour _through_ -the cloth, but dusting out and unclogging it. These can be stopped or -started by the miller at any time while the Bolt is in operation--either -one set, two, or all, as circumstances may require. These, every -practical miller knows, after having used them, to be indispensable to -counteract the extremes of damp and dry, or cold and exceedingly warm -weather. Some millers utterly condemn the use of knockers on bolts, and, -in reference to those commonly in use, we will agree with them in this. -The difficulty lies in the fact that commonly they are so arranged that -the miller is obliged to use them at all times. In free bolting weather, -he not only wants to stop the _percussion apparatus_, but also to have -all the safeguards against too free bolting at his command. With this -apparatus and proper grinding no clogging of the Bolt will ever be -noticed. By the use of this apparatus we are enabled to use finer cloth -than without it, and at all times bolt even and obtain better yields. -This tried and valuable improvement has been secured by Letters-Patent. - -These _Mills and Bolts_, or either of them separately are constantly -being attached to old and new mills, warehouses and places where steam -and water power can be had or used. We use on these Bolts Dufour & Co.’s -celebrated Dutch Anchor brand of Bolting Cloth made up in best manner -with 2½ inch strips of heavy ticking to come in contact with the ribs -of reel. - -Some parties erroneously entertain the idea that a _portable mill_ is a -temporary affair. They obtain this idea from the word _portable_. This -word, applied to a mill, means only that the machinery is built in such -a manner at the factory as to permit of its being shipped the same as -any other machinery. Our portable mill has all the qualities for doing -good work, and all the durability, that any old style mill has. It -further has the advantage of enabling a man to put up his mill without -near so much delay and expense as is required in the old style. In every -instance where a portable mill has failed to do its work properly or to -be durable, it has not been because it was a _portable_ mill, but -because it was not constructed on _good well-tried_ principles, or of -good material, or the fault may have been because it was not set up as -it should be, or had not been properly managed after it was set up. - -Our Mills and Bolts are fitted up and put together ready to run, before -shipment, then properly arranged for shipping, and delivered on board -the cars at the proper depot here, and a through rate of freight -contracted in the shipping receipt. - - - - -COMPLETE PORTABLE GRINDING AND BOLTING FLOURING MILLS. - - -The cuts, Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, are intended to show the different -arrangements in buildings and are made by us of the following sizes of -stones: 30, 36 and 42 inches diameter of upper-runners, and 26, 30 and -36 inch of the under-runner kind, with the bolts described fully -elsewhere, of ample capacity and to meet the special demands of a custom -mill, capable of making flour that will bear inspection in any market, -at the same time good yields, and are as economical in the use of power -as any mill in the United States. Drawings and directions to set up sent -with each mill when ordered. It betters the arrangement to place the -husk frame 20 inches below the floor; the discharge spout and hoppers -all come at a convenient height for the miller to see into the hopper -and operate the mill without stooping. In Figs. 1 and 3 they are shown -thus. We advise making a platform in the rear of the mills over the -belts. The stones and bolt-chest can be placed on same floor, as Fig. 1, -or the bolt above as the situation requires. They will grind and bolt -from six to fifteen bushels per hour according to size, and can be put -in operation in a short time, and are no more liable to get out of -repair than the best mill in use. - -Those having their power all ready, should give us the dimensions of it -and kind, to enable us to give correct information as to size of mill -best adapted to it, &c., &c. - -[Illustration: _Fig. 1._ - -The above shows our Portable Mills, arranged in one story house and -driven by Reel Belts and Tightening Rigging to Shift Belts. For Ground -Plan, See Fig. 4.] - -[Illustration: _Fig. 2._ - -Portable Mills driven by quarter twist Belts without the tightening -rigging.

When this is done the husks -of the two or more run of burrs are combined into one, making it very -solid. This style of mill, where there is room under the grinding floor -for it, is the best arrangement possible. - -A husk of this kind has all the firmness and solidity of the usual style -of frame husk, and yet it is not so bulky and cumbersome. Heavy joint -bolts being used entirely, instead of pins, it can readily be tightened -up, should any part become slack. These joint bolts bring the timbers -harder and more firmly against the shoulders than it is possible for -pins or keys; hence its exceeding firmness. Mills put up by us in this -style cost the purchaser less money than it is possible for him to buy -the burrs, spindles, steps, lighter screws, steps, feed rigging, etc., -complete, and then get his timber, hire hands, and build it himself. -After he finishes his husk, he will find, in addition to its costing him -more than if we should furnish it, he has not nearly as neat a husk, nor -one that looks like a finished piece of machinery. The entire timbers in -our Combined Husks are dressed and varnished. While it is together in -our shop, before taking apart for shipment, every piece is so marked as -to show plainly its place in putting up when it arrives at the mill. -Customers purchasing these husks, etc., complete, avoid the delay in -starting their mills that is necessarily connected with this when all is -made at the mill. At the mill, everything has to be done at a decided -disadvantage over doing it at a shop where there are tools and machinery -especially adapted for the work, and hands that are thoroughly -accustomed to doing it. - -This style of Mill, with pulleys on the spindles, driven from an upright -shaft by belts with tightening pulleys on the slack side, makes the most -convenient, and at the same time, as durable and efficient a mill as can -be built. With this arrangement, any burr or burrs can be stopped or -started at pleasure, without disturbing the others. Where any changing -of burrs has to be done, as is the case in custom mills, this is an -important item, both for convenience and economy. It saves the time -that would be lost in stopping the entire machinery of the mill, -shifting the gearing, and again starting, which will always amount to -several minutes, by the time the burrs are again properly grinding. And, -further, belts do away with all liability to that jar and chatter that -always more or less accompanies gearing not kept in proper condition in -every respect, which is very seldom done. The belt gives to the burr a -very even, steady motion. Our experience is that these belt mills are as -easily and more _accurately_ kept in tram than geared mills with any -kind of gearing. This method of driving burrs is not only desirable for -custom mills, but is also well adapted for merchant mills. We think no -better or more satisfactory arrangement for driving either custom or -merchant burrs than this, is in use, and we have had experience with all -methods. We have over one hundred of this style of mills running, driven -by belts in this manner, and they are giving the most entire -satisfaction. Most of them are run by parties that have used various -other methods of driving their burrs. These all give this style a most -decided preference over any other method of driving. The cost is about -the same as gearing. We can now give parties interested, references to -mills of this same kind in most any of the middle and western States. Of -course we do not advocate this plan of driving burrs, nor this style of -husk for every case. There are a great many places where there is not -the necessary basement room, and parties do not wish to go to any more -expense than the usual short husk portable mill, and some situations -would require a geared mill all rigged and fitted up in the best manner. - -In the engraving, Fig. 7, is shown one of these husks with two upper and -one under runner mill; the frame is not shown as heavy as we use for 42 -inch and 4 feet stones; one of the lower belts is shown, the others in -dotted lines. The shelving for supporting the belt when the tightening -pulley is thrown back is not shown. Our adjustable tightening frame and -hinge is of superior advantage in stopping and starting either one or -all the burrs. They are operated by hand wheels from above in a very -simple and easy manner not shown in the cut. The precise slant and -position of this movable pulley is regulated by an improved hinge having -but three castings, a wrought iron rod, and three screw bolts, one of -them provided with two hexagon nuts to regulate the position in one -direction, while the plate to which the frame is hinged allow it to be -adjusted in another required direction. By keeping the pulley in the -proper position the belt raises from the shelving and touches nothing -but the pulleys when in motion. The excellence of this combined mill -arrangement, with the new features, is considered of great advantage, -and is highly commended by all of those using them. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration: DOUBLE REEL BOLT. - -Lower part of Elevator and Cooling Conveyor not shown; doors opening to -the reels on the opposite side of chest.] - - - - -DOUBLE REEL BOLT. - - -Where more bolting surface is required than there is in a single reel -bolt, we build them with two reels, in portable chests, and embodying -all the advantages and improvements of our single reel portable bolts. -We furnish with them the gearing, elevator, etc., complete and neatly -finished. They are built in sections for convenience in shipping and -handling. We build also three and four reel chests to order. We send -with these bolts all that is mentioned as being furnished with the -single reel bolts, except we send 48 feet of elevator belt and 36 cups. -Will state that while we are willing to furnish all the irons belonging -to our bolts at fair rates, with draft and specifications showing how to -make them, we advise our customers to have the complete bolt made here -and shipped with the other supplies of the mill. The mill and all by so -doing gives better satisfaction, besides a great saving in expense. We -have sent them South into Georgia; North into Northern Minnesota, and -West into Western Kansas and Nebraska. For such long distances we -recommend to have them taken apart and boxed as referred to under head -of “Single Reel Bolt.” - -We make them of the following length of reel shafts, 16, 18, 20 and 22 -feet; the chest and frame supporting the gearing at head makes each bolt -measure 2½ feet longer. They are all about 8 feet 7 inches high to -top of elevator. - - - - -Grinding and Flouring, and Capacity. - - -All should know that the most important item in converting wheat into -flour, is the _Grinding Mill_. Grain cannot be properly floured without -burrs of good quality, dressed expressly for the purpose. Although a -Miller of not much experience may sometimes make a pretty fair article -of flour, yet those having the most experience will always find -something to learn on this subject. It is best that the skill of an -expert Miller be employed to prepare the face and furrows of the burrs -and put them in order for grinding. Our mills, when properly dressed and -in order, make a quality and yield of flour unsurpassed by any other -mill, as the letters from our customers testify. Nevertheless, some of -our mills, run and managed by unskillful hands, are making a tolerable -article of flour, without much care to dress the burrs and keep in -order, and sometimes are run a long time without any dressing. In -grinding wheat, the burrs should be adjusted with precision, and should -always occupy the attention of the Miller. In grinding grists, some damp -and others dry, and of different qualities of wheat, the stones require -close attention. The runner should be raised slightly for damp wheat; if -not, the burrs are liable to heat the chop, and clog their grinding -surfaces. If allowed to run too close on dry wheat, the bran will be cut -and the flour made dark. These are common difficulties, but can be -avoided by a careful miller who wants to make a fine article of -merchantable flour, and good yield. The several qualities of wheat and -its conditions, as well as the particular quality of flour required to -meet the demand of any particular market, must be observed and -understood in order to determine the best mode of grinding. - -AN IMPORTANT ITEM.--Be sure to keep the _furrows sufficiently deep_, and -_especially so for corn_, and see under heads of “Setting up and -Starting” and “Keeping in Order.” Burrs are apt to throw out unground -grain if run too slow, when, if the speed is increased, this difficulty -is obviated. - -GRINDING CORN.--The dress is not that required for wheat. For corn, let -every part of the surface be sharp, and the _furrows cut deep_; thus, -with a high speed, the meal will not be heated. _When the meal is ground -hot, the stones are dull or the furrows not deep enough._ It requires -much more power to grind with dull stones or shallow furrows. Every -stroke with a sharp pick makes a great number of sharp cutting edges -upon French Burr, which cut easy, like a sharp tool in wood. - -Be careful to keep the burrs well balanced and in tram. See observations -elsewhere under this head. - -In reference to the capacity of our mill we will give our opinions from -the practical knowledge and experience we have had with them. Having a -number of water and steam mills of our entire make and completion near -our works and in our city, some having been built with special reference -to having all first-class, our opportunities have been good near at hand -for constant improvement. While much depends upon the power and -condition of grain, our mills are made of the kind of burr stone, -carefully selected, with furrows drafted and shaped in the most approved -style, that the greatest attainable results may be accomplished. Under -favorable circumstances our three feet mills have ground to make good -flour and yields 14 bushels per hour, which, when in moderate condition -as to sharpness, would do but 8 or 10 bushels. Our under-runner mills -average a greater capacity than the upper-runner kind. - -The amount our mills and mill stones will grind to do it well, is as -great as that successfully obtained by any mill in existence, and always -has been entirely satisfactory, oftentimes astonishing old and -experienced millers. On one occasion two of our three feet upper-runner -mills with two single reel bolts have made 100 bbls. of merchantable -flour in 24 hours. With the larger sizes we could point to -proportionally greater results. - -Our three and three and a half feet mills are often found grinding -faster than the four feet sizes of the old style of mills, at the same -time doing as good and better work. These are facts, and the reasons why -are simply because the stones are run at a greater speed, while the -furrows are shaped to avoid heating, and properly drafted to distribute -the grain evenly over the grinding surfaces. Also, much is owing to a -good selection of the burr stock of which the stones are made. We -conclude this subject by reference to some who have given us their -views, carefully expressed in writing, and here published for the -benefit of all those interested in milling. - - - - -Keeping in Order. - - -The face of the bed stone must be kept level and the spindle in perfect -tram with it. To tram, take off the hoop and runner stone, and if a -_Pulley Mill_, put on the belt the same as when grinding; then place on -the spindle a wooden arm with a hole in one end to fit tight on the -upper end of spindle, so that it will traverse the face of the bed -stone, having before made a small hole through the projecting end to -receive a quill or piece of whale-bone to trace the surface of the -bed-stone about two inches in from its skirt. On turning the spindle, it -can now be readily seen which way the step is to be moved in order to -throw the spindle in tram; if it is properly in tram, the quill will -traverse the bed-stone evenly around its face. To tram our _geared -mills_, the toe of the spindle must _not be moved out of line_ with the -shaft holding the driving gear wheel; the proper way is to tram it in -the bush, which is provided with suitable keys. However, when the toe of -the spindle or step is required to be moved length-ways of this shaft, -no bad results will follow, provided the cogs are all the time in proper -depth--even on their back or large end, and not too deep in gear. The -spindles of our mills are not apt to get out of tram, but in all mills -they should be closely watched and frequently tried in this particular. -When the _spindle is in perfect tram_, and the _runner in balance_, the -_burrs will not wear out of face_, but the reverse, they will naturally -_wear in face_. The followers should not be forced too hard against the -spindle by the wedges in the iron bush, as it will make the spindle -heat. - -The space under the leather, on top of the bush, should be well supplied -with tallow rolled up in a woolen cloth and laid immediately around the -spindle. The oil cup in the bush should be supplied with good sperm or -lard oil every time the burrs are taken up. Place some candle-wick in -this cup, with one end against (_not around_) the spindle. This keeps -the spindle supplied with a continual flow of oil in addition to the -tallow. Oil the spindle step with good sperm or lard oil, clean out once -a month, and keep out dirt. - -In geared mills, pay particular attention to the adjustment of the gear -wheels. If they are _too deep or not deep enough_ in gear, they will not -run so smoothly and will cut out. As the wooden cogs wear, in time a -shoulder will be formed on them by the iron cogs in the pinion. In order -to obviate the tremble or rough running that this shoulder would cause, -it should be trimmed off from time to time. Grease the cogs with tallow, -and see observations on keeping stones in order, under head of “Setting -up and Starting.” - -WE REQUEST as a favor of any of those using our machinery, mills, bolts, -&c., to inform us if they are not working satisfactorily; in such a -case, state plainly as you can in what particular, as we will take -pleasure in correcting the defect or giving advice concerning it. Some -of our mills and mill stones that have been used constantly for 8 to 12 -years may require some changes, such as re-setting the irons, improving -the dress, &c., that would make them as good as new; when written to or -interviewed on the subject, will state to the best of our ability what -should be done. - - - - -In Ordering, or when a Correct estimate of Cost is Wanted, - - -It will be quite a help both to our customers and to ourselves to -observe the points mentioned below. A plain statement of the situation -and what is wanted, together with a rough sketch will often save much -delay and trouble. - -1st. Give location of Mill, _i. e._, its relation to road, railway, and -power; where it is most convenient to receive grist work and where -merchant grain. - -2d. State size of mill house; height of stories from floor to floor; -pitch of roof, and which way comb of house runs; which way the joist and -timbers of the mill run, and their size. - -3d. If there is a basement under the grinding floor, and how high. - -4th. If water power is to be used, state size and kind of water wheel -and its speed. If a turbine wheel, give height of head, which way wheel -runs, and location of mill-house. - -5th. If the power has not been improved, state the fall that can be -obtained, and give the amount of water in depth and width running over a -weir. See “Measurement of Water in a Stream.” - -6th. If the power used is steam, give the diameter of cylinder and -length of stroke of engine; number of revolutions per minute made by -engine; diameter and width of face of band wheel on engine; which way -the engine runs--whether top of band wheel runs to or from the mills. - -7th. Make a sketch showing the location of engine bed plate and shaft to -the mills. - -8th. State whether the mills are wanted to run with or against the sun. -We build them to run with the sun unless otherwise ordered. - -9th. Name the place to which the machinery is to be shipped and, if -thought best, by what route. It often happens that we can judge best the -way to ship. Also, your name and post office plainly and in full. - -We deliver our goods on board cars at the proper depot here, free of -charge, and take a contracted through receipt with rate of freight -stated in it, and send to the purchaser, thus guarding our customers -against over-charges or high rates of freight. For 5 per cent. added to -our prices, we will pre-pay freight on one half and full car load lots -to Buffalo, Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, Quincy, Rock Island and -Memphis. 3 per cent. will cover it to Chicago, Pittsburgh, Toledo, -Louisville and Evansville. On boat or cars at any depot in Cincinnati we -will pre-pay freight at 10 cents per 100 lbs., (weights are given on -list.) Great care is taken to inclose such parts of our supplies and -mills when necessary in strong boxes, iron bound at the corners, so that -they can be conveyed safely to any part of the world. - - - - -Setting up and Starting. - - -We have often found it to the advantage of our customers to have one of -our own men assist in _setting up and starting_. Their experience and -familiarity with our machinery enables them to expedite the setting up. -They are employed on this important part of our work constantly. Our -charges for their services are reasonable. In some of the far western -States we have skilled mill-wrights for this purpose, thus saving time -and expense to the purchaser. From drafts and explanations we send (when -requested to do so) with our mill work and mills, mill-wrights can -generally succeed in giving good satisfaction. - -The burrs of all our mills are faced true and furrowed, but do not have -as smooth a grinding or flouring face as is necessary for flouring -wheat. A few days work by the miller with pick and rub stone is of great -advantage. To do this important work _correctly_ requires one skilled in -the use of the red staff, with a good true iron proof staff close at -hand. We are sorry to be compelled to say that the millers are few that -know how to correctly handle the red staff on the face of a mill stone. -It is a difficult matter to explain the manner of doing it without a -personal interview and the implements in readiness. However, we are -ready to give on this point of _great importance_ all the information we -can by sketches and writing. - -[Illustration: View of Eureka Smutter. - -(See following page.)] - -[Illustration: Sectional View.] - -[Illustration: This Cut Represents either size Machine driven from the -Top when so required.] - -Some of the Reasons why the Eureka Should be used in preference to any -other Smut and Separating Machine now offered for Sale: - -1st. The scourer used in the Eureka is constructed of the best imported -_cast sheet_ steel, manufactured and rolled expressly for this purpose. -The scouring is done on an entire smooth surface, and by direct action -on the grain, thoroughly scours and polishes the berry without waste, -and at the same time retains its scouring qualities until the scouring -case is entirely worn out. As the beaters or fan blades of the revolving -scouring cylinders are chilled cast-iron, they will last for years -without perceptible wear, and when the steel case is worn out by severe -friction of the grain, can be replaced at a small expense. All machines -are so strongly and permanently built, and the revolving cylinder so -perfectly balanced, that they will, with ordinary care, last for years, -with the small additional expense of renewing the scouring case, once in -from three to five or eight years, as the case may be. - -2d. For its entire reliability in cleaning the worst samples of smutty -wheat; the preliminary or first separator is attached to all the No. 0, -1, 2 and 3 Ordinary sizes, which removes smut balls, dust, chaff, chess -or cheat, and light and worthless grains, before the wheat goes to the -scourer. As the scourer is thoroughly ventilated, supplied by air at the -bottom, and discharging the smut and dust loosened from the grain during -the process of scouring, through the perforations of the scouring case, -and the fan at the same time drawing a strong current of air through the -revolving cylinder, there is no possibility of the grain coming in -contact with smut and dust during the process of scouring. Most of the -so-called close scouring machines that are now being urged upon millers -are destitute of this important principle, and hence worthless. - -3d. The Eureka, so far as we know, is the only machine that has a -perfect shoe attachment, and where the machine is the best known is -always invariably ordered. It requires little or no attention, being -driven by a belt from main shaft of the machine and a spring pitman; it -makes no noise, and with the improved double screen, takes out more -headings, straw joints, rat filth, corn and oats, than can possibly be -taken out with the rolling screen, while the cockle screen takes out -cockle, sand, etc., and we earnestly advise all persons ordering the No. -0, 1 or 2 machines, to order the shoe in all cases. It is now very -seldom that we have an order for either of the three sized machines -above referred to without the shoe, and in nine cases out of ten when -machines are so ordered, the shoe is afterwards ordered, thereby causing -extra expense and trouble. - -The last reason we shall give is that this is, in all respects, the best -wheat cleaning machine in the world; this to millers is an important -consideration, and cannot well be overlooked. - - - - -In Ordering Smut Machines, - - -First, decide the size or number of machine wanted, and in deciding -this, it will be well to remember that the machines will do all claimed -for them. If a machine is wanted to clean twenty-five bushels per hour, -a No. 1 machine, run to the motion designed for it, will do it much -better than a No. 2, and either size machine run to the motion and fed -to the full capacity, will do much better work than if run at a less -motion and with a less feed. Some have thought that if a No. 3 machine, -for instance, will clean one hundred bushels per hour well, that it will -clean sixty bushels better. This is a mistake. - - -Warranty. - -All machines are warranted to be built of the very best material and -perfect in all their parts, and any defect in the material or -construction will be made good to the purchaser without charge; and -further, to give entire satisfaction, when put up and run according to -directions attached to all machines. - - -Terms. - -When the cash is remitted with the order, or within thirty days from -date of shipment, a discount of five per cent. will be allowed, or list -price at the end of ninety days. If longer time is required, approved -notes on interest after ninety days from date of shipment, payable in -bank, will be required. - - --+----------+------------+----------+-----+-----------+--------+-------- - | | | |M M| | Height | - | | | SIZE |o p i| DIAMETER | from |CAPACITY - | | Height | |t e n| |Floor to| - No| EXTREME | from where | ON |i r u| OF | Centre | PER - | |wheat enters| |o t| | of | - | HEIGHT. | to floor. | FLOOR |n e| PULLEY. | Pulley.| HOUR. - --+----------+------------+----------+-----+-----------+--------+-------- - 0|5 ft 5 in.| 4 ft |2 ft 2 in.| 700 | 6 in--4 in|1 foot. |10 to - | | | | | face| | 15 bu - 1|6 ft 2 in.| 5 ft 6 in. |2 ft 2 in.| 700 | 7 in--4 in|1 foot. |20 to - | | | | | face| | 30 bu - 2|6 ft 10 in| 6 ft 2 in. |2 ft 8 in.| 625 |10 in--5 in|1 foot |40 to - | | | | | face| 2 in.| 60 bu - 3|7 ft 6 in.| 5 ft 9 in. |3 ft 1 in.| 550 |14 in--6 in|1 foot |100 to - | | | | | face| 4 in.| 125 bu - --+----------+------------+----------+-----+-----------+--------+-------- - Length’ Scourer. | | | | | - 2|7 ft 8 in.| 5 ft 2 in. |2 ft 8 in.| 650 |10 in--5 in|1 foot |40 to - | | | | | face| 1 in.| 60 bu - 3|7 ft 11 in| 5 ft 3 in. |3 ft 2 in.| 550 |14 in--6 in|1 foot |100 to - | | | | | face| 1 in.| 125 bu - 4|8 ft 2 in.| 5 ft 6 in. |3 ft 6 in.| 500 |14 to 16 in|1 foot |125 to - | | | | |--8 in face| 1 in.| 150 bu - 5|8 ft 2 in.| 5 ft 4 in. |3 ft 9 in.| 450 |18 to 24 in|1 foot |175 to - | | | | |--8 in face| 4 in.| 200 bu - --+----------+------------+----------+-----+-----------+--------+-------- - - - - -DUSTLESS OAT SEPARATOR AND ZIGZAG. - -With two or four Wheat Riddles and Cockle Riddle. - - -Patented April 9, 1861; Re-issued, April 19, 1871. - -[Illustration] - -This Machine is named “Dustless Separator,” because the _Dust_ is -separated from the wheat, conveyed out of the mill, and deposited in a -dust room, before the grain passes to the riddles; the wheat and -screenings are left free from dust. - -Its operation is as follows:--The grain enters the Machine at the -hopper, which is shown, where it receives the _first_ blast; then passes -through two to four wheat riddles in succession, and over a cockle -riddle into the _second_ blast.

They say in their latest circular, “We have had -thirteen years experience on Bran Dusters, and nearly eleven years of -the time on our present Machine, and think we understand the wants of -Millers in this line perfectly. Our aim has been to make as perfect a -Duster as could be made, and think we now have a perfect one to offer -the milling public. - -“Ours is a vertical Machine and so constructed that it can be run either -with or against the sun, as may be required. - -“The Wire-cloth Cylinder is made in halves, and can be unbolted and -taken out one-half at a time, and can be turned around for examination -_on all sides_ while the Machine is running. - -“We put on all sizes, a shoe to throw off dough balls or any foreign -substance that would injure the wire-cloth, making it a perfect Machine -without any other device than the Machine itself. - -“We have had Machines running side by side with all the other kinds of -Dusters and have always beaten them in quantity and quality of flour, -and are ready at any time to put one to a test with any other Machine. - -“This Machine has a Revolving Cylinder of pure Bristol Brushes and has -nothing but the Brush Cylinder to drive, making it run extremely light, -requiring less than one-half of one-horse power to drive the largest -sized Machines. - -“There are now over seven hundred of them running, and as far as we know -all are giving perfect satisfaction, and we defy any man to show us -where one has been superseded by any other Machine; further, we will say -that we have put our Machine in place of several other kinds, and have -given satisfaction in all cases where others have failed. We find in -other Circulars statements that their Machines will make ten per cent. -of flour; _we say this is exaggerated_; we have made five and one-fourth -per cent., and say this is more than any other Duster can do with a fair -test. We do not make statements that are exaggerated, but only such as -we are willing to guarantee. - -“For cleaning Cracked Wheat, Pearl Barley, and all this class of -material, there is no better Machine, and we can give the best of -testimonials of their work on this kind of material.” - -[Illustration] - -This cut is a sectional view of the Machine showing the entire -construction, except the Shoe, which will accompany all of the Machines. -The Flour and Bran Spouts can be turned to any direction required, -independently, to adjust them to any location in a mill. - - -Dimensions. - - ---+------------+-----------+--------+---------------------+--------- - No.| Extreme | Size on |Motion |Dimensions of Pulley.|Capacity - | Height. | Floor. |per min.| |per Diem. - ---+------------+-----------|--------+---------------------+--------- - 1 |4 ft. 4 in.|2 ft. 1 in.| 400 | 7 inch diameter, |100 bbls. - | | | | 4 inch face. | - 2 |4 ft. 7 in.|2 ft. 6 in.| 350 | 8 inch diameter, |200 bbls. - | | | | 4 inch face. | - 3 |4 ft. 11 in.|3 feet. | 300 | 8 inch diameter, | - | | | | 4 inch face. |300 bbls. - ---+------------+-----------+--------+---------------------+--------- - -☞ When required, Pulleys can be furnished from six to twelve inches -diameter. - - - - -FRENCH BURR FARM AND PLANTATION MILL. - - Patented August 1st, 1871. - - -[Illustration] - -This mill has been built by us and in use for a number of years, and in -all cases has proven itself worthy of the reputation it has obtained. - -The changes made within the last two years make it the best investment -of money that can be made by any one wanting a cheap mill. It is -complete in itself, not requiring any hangers, &c., to set it in -operation, and can be put to work without an experienced mechanic. In -its structure we have not been sparing in the material necessary to make -every part strong and durable. They will bear to be continually used -with a strong power without any part yielding in the least. The -objections to most mills of this class is caused by their being put up -in soft wood frames, and castings of frail dimensions, the consequence -being that the spindle and important parts soon get out of place. To -those having any kind of light power the smaller sizes are well adapted, -and in every situation where they have been properly placed their -satisfactory working has been exemplified and will be guaranteed by us. -It will grind middlings or minerals, all kinds of feed and make good -family meal. - -The above cut is a fair representation of the mill; it is simple, and -has less parts than any other mill in the market. It has a horizontal -steel spindle running in anti-friction metal bearings, and a steel seat -at its end to receive the pressure of the burrs in grinding. - -The runner is placed in an iron back and rigidly keyed to the spindle. -The bed stone is so arranged as to be self-adjusting. The mill cannot -get out of tram, since when left at liberty it will adjust itself into -perfect tram. The bed stone is held up to its place in grinding by a -stiff rubber spring, so as to enable it to yield in case any hard -substance enters between the burrs, thus obviating the danger of -breakage, and yet not permitting the stones to yield or press apart in -grinding ordinary substances. The spindle being horizontal this mill can -be driven directly from an engine, horse-power, or line-shaft. One great -item of superiority is that a strong or light power may be used and the -mill will grind in proportion, and will do good work at the same time. -_Every mill warranted._ - -DIRECTIONS for using and keeping in order sent with each mill. - ---------+--------------+----------+---------+-------------+------------ -Diameter| Power | Diameter | Face | Capacity |Revolutions - of | to | of | of | per | per - Burrs. | Drive. | Pulley. | Pulley. | Hour. | Minute. ---------+--------------+----------+---------+-------------+------------ - 14 in. |1 to 4 horse.| 9½ in.|5½ in.|2 to 8 bush.|600 to 1200 - 16 in. |2 to 6 horse.|11 in. |6½ in.|4 to 12 bush.|400 to 800 - 18 in. |4 to 10 horse.|11 in. |6½ in.|8 to 20 bush.|400 to 700 ---------+--------------+----------+---------+-------------+------------ - -[Illustration] - - - - -CORN AND COB CRUSHER, AND GRINDER. - -[Illustration] - -Chill Hardened Corn and Cob Cracker, Bone and Bark Mill. - - -They are made of the best chill hardened iron, well fitted, and are -undoubtedly the best thing now made for the purpose, outwearing, in some -instances, three of the common kind. They can be set up in any kind of a -building, sometimes to the side on two strong brackets, or on any -suitable frame.

Shell each Ear Separately. Require no -Self-Feeders. They shell Clean. Do not Break the Cobs. Do not waste the -Corn._ - - -The above is a cut of our No. 1 Centrifugal Corn Sheller and Cleaner. -The operation of this Sheller is as follows: - - The ears of corn are _shoveled direct into the Sheller_, and fall - on to the center of a flat Perforated Shelling Wheel where they are - thrown by centrifugal force towards the outside, but being caught - by guides held down by a spring plate working between them are, “by - the action of the wheel,” made to revolve, the corn shelled off, - and the cobs forced off the wheel _endwise and without being - broken_, fall on the Cob Carrier, and are carried away from the - Sheller; while the shelled corn passes through the Cob Carrier to - the Shaker, and thence to the Conveyor, into the Elevator, when it - is raised into bags, wagons or cars. - -_In cleaning the shelled corn they cannot be excelled._ In addition to -our Cob Carrier, we have a Shaker with a sieve made of perforated iron, -which is preferable to a wire sieve, as no silks will adhere to and clog -it. While falling on and passing through the Shaker, the grain is -subjected to a strong blast from the fan, which thoroughly cleans it of -all chaff, pieces of cobs, dirt, etc., leaving it in prime order for -market. - -Our No. 1 will shell and clean from 700 to 1200 bushels of shelled corn -per day, with two to four horse power. - - -THE VETERAN. - -[Illustration: Two-Hole Separating Sheller.] - -For these we have a steady demand at all times of the year, and send -them to all parts of the country. - -They do not operate in the loose rattling way of ordinary Two-Hole Hand -Shellers, got up to sell cheap, but work as closely and effectively as -any of the most effective Power Shellers; and no hand sheller has been -so much relied on for regular business as the Veteran. - -The frames are made of the best and most thoroughly seasoned hard wood, -framed as closely as the joints can be driven together, and are “solid -as rock.” The shafts, shelling wheels, boxes, journals, etc., are on the -same scale of strength and close fitting. - -They have the revolving wire cob carrier for separating the cobs from -the shelled corn, and when so ordered, they can be fitted with a band -wheel for connecting with power, and a feed table, as shown in the cut, -thus making a small and convenient power sheller. - - -THE CADET. - -[Illustration: Single or One-Hole Hand Sheller.] - -It is strong framed: the frame being of the best seasoned hard wood, -capped with iron. Has the same character of shelling wheels as the power -shellers, bored true and fitted on shafts which are turned full length -and held in strong and durable boxes; has a fine adjustment of spout -irons and springs. - -_It separates the Cobs from the Shelled Corn, and has a Fan for Cleaning -the Grain._ - - - - -WRIGHT’ PEARL HOMINY MILL. - -[Illustration] - -_Simplicity in Operation--Economy in Power--No Dust--No Dirt--Regular -Feed and Discharge._ - - -In presenting this Machine to the millers of this country the -manufacturers say: “We feel confident that we fill a desideratum long -felt in milling circles, that is, a practical horizontal mill, having -the prominent features of economy in power, simplicity in operation, -cleanliness, and the perfect manner in which it does its work, yielding -more hominy from the corn than any other mill in use. The grain needs no -soaking or steaming, but can be worked dry as well as when damp. The -hominy and feed are separated before leaving the mill, the hominy -running out on a shaking screen where the fine is separated from the -coarse, leaving it in a perfect condition for market. The feed is -deposited on the opposite side. The mechanical construction of this -machine is first-class, and its durability and simplicity is unequaled -by any other known mill. It is compact; the space it occupies does not -exceed two by three feet square. The skill of a practical miller is not -required to run it, as any one, however limited their knowledge of -machinery may be, can operate it successfully. - -“Our long experience in the manufacture of hominy and Hominy Mills -enables us to say confidently that we can now offer a machine - -PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO GENERAL MILL USE, - -And no mill in the country should be without one. We have witnessed the -rapidly increasing demand for this excellent and wholesome article of -food from comparatively a few to more than ten thousand barrels a year -in our own business alone. That Hominy is a healthy and nutritious -article of diet no one pretends to deny, as it has been ascertained by -chemical analysis and comparison that one pound of Hominy equals five -pounds of Potatoes. - -“This Mill will work from FOUR to SEVEN bushels of corn per hour. One -bushel of common corn will make from twenty-eight to thirty pounds of -Hominy. Flint corn will produce a greater yield. The offal, or meal, -sells rapidly, and brings a price equal to that for ground corn, making -a superior feed for hogs, cattle, etc.” - -We have a Hominy Machine, horizontal cylinder screen, &c., not a -continuous feeder, that takes in a charge of one-half bushel at a time, -and does first-class work, that we will sell at a less price.

The coupling is secured to -connect the ends of the principal driving shafts as in the style of an -ordinary coupling, or in case of back-lash in the mill spindles it is -placed immediately above the gear in such a manner as to allow it to be -easily moved up out of gear, at the same time producing an elastic -movement in the transmission of power. It gives the advantage of a belt -connection in a great measure, in allaying the jar produced by fast -running gear. It is constructed of cast iron in two parts, with a space -or opening between to receive the requisite number of large stiff rubber -springs; each half is secured independently to the ends of the two -shafts needed to be coupled, and the power is transmitted by pressure -upon the springs; a like connection is made with the gear or -trundle-head and mill-spindle of a mill stone. They are furnished of -different sizes to suit the situation and amount of power to be -conveyed. - - - - -GEARING. - - -[Illustration: Bevel Core Wheel.] - -This is a clear representation of the style of our bevel core gear -patterns. It was engraved from a photograph taken direct from the -casting to show correctly the proportion, shape, &c. With this style of -gear, as well as those for spur gearing, we are sufficiently supplied to -meet most any reasonable demand. All our patterns were made for the -purposes of flouring mills, with a view to avoid superfluous metal, at -the same time, to make them strong and in good proportion. Our spur -bolting gear patterns have been prepared with special care; the patterns -being iron with the teeth cut from blank rims by a gear cutter, they -remain true and from these always make true castings. The arms are -curved and oval in shape, and the whole of a design exactly meeting the -tastes of the most skillful mill-wrights. - -Any odd wheels that may be needed to complete the outfit of a job, we -have arranged to get on short notice. There being some half a dozen -foundries within a few blocks of our works, it will be seen we do not -lack the means near at hand. - -Having a gear cutting machine in our establishment, we are prepared to -face and dress the cogs of spur pinions, trundle-heads, and spur gear of -40 inches diameter and less of narrow face, and those of 24 inches -diameter and less of most any face or pitch. - - - - -Wood Cogs. - - -In the engraving of the bevel core wheel is shown (to the right of it) a -wood cog as we furnish them from the machine. The now extensive demand, -built up by close attention to this small but very important branch, for -now over fifteen years, has made it necessary to prepare ourselves by -keeping a larger stock of the material as well as improved machinery for -making them. At the proper time each year we have cut of hickory, sugar, -(often termed maple,) and some oak specially for this purpose, and we -have at no time less than 25,000 feet of the best lumber, part of it -being from three to six years old. For this purpose we use only the butt -logs cut from trees standing exposed in the out-skirts of the timber. -When cogs are wanted to refill a wheel it is best to take out one of the -old ones and fit a temporary one in place of it, then send to us by -express, with your order by mail, or with the cog, of the number wanted. -The cogs will be shanked and place cut for the keys exactly as per -sample, _and all uniform_, unless otherwise ordered. It is desirable for -us to know about what the pitch of the gear is, although the projecting -part of the cog is left of ample size to shape the tooth. We always box -them, and ship by freight or express, as ordered. It is no uncommon -thing for us to send cogs thus over a thousand miles from our works. - - - - -SPUR GEARED MILLS - - -Are furnished to order to be driven by spur or crown wheel gear, direct -from upright shaft, in iron or wood husks, or without husks as -preferred. Such a mill is constructed to drive one or half a dozen run -of stones from one crown wheel. The iron pinions are made to lift from -suitable iron sleeves when necessary to stop one or more of the stones. -This device is simple and not objectionable. To those who prefer to make -the husks at the mill house we will send drafts and description showing -how every part, iron and piece is located, as well as the entire -structure on the most approved plan. - - - - -Management of Water Power. - - -Here is where bad mistakes are often made, and the best of water wheels -sometimes condemned when the fault may be in not properly attaching the -wheel, or improper application of the water, or speed or size of wheel -not properly proportioned to the height of head or amount of water. And -we ask of parties interested in water powers to apply to us for advice, -should they have no one at hand competent to counsel with. We have -furnished and put in many kinds of water wheels for flouring mill -purposes, and carefully observed the workings of them, some of which are -still prominently before the public, and our experiences have developed -some valuable points of interest to those building water mills. - - - - -Measurement of Water in a Stream. - - - -[Illustration] - -It is very important to ascertain the quantity of water that flows in a -stream, and the head and fall, to determine the exact amount of power -and the work it is capable of doing. It is frequently the case that -mills are constructed before finding the power of the stream, and upon -trial are found to fall short of their calculations. We give a very -plain way which will determine this. Place a wide board as a dam across -the stream (called a weir.) When the quantity of water is considerable, -it must be made in sections to get it sufficiently wide and long; then -cut a notch as shown in the engraving and about two-thirds the width of -the stream, placing the bottom of the notch level, and let the ends of -the weir dam (B B) be well bedded on each side of the stream. Observe in -cutting the opening or notch to bevel the edges down stream to within -say ⅛ of an inch of the side up stream; that the edges of the notch -sides and bottom be almost sharp but true and square, and the whole -opening sufficient for the water to pass; the bottom of the notch can be -leveled by letting the water pass over in a thin sheet; then drive a -stake three to four feet above the dam to one side or the middle of the -stream, and the upper end of it on a level with the bottom of the notch -in weir. And now that you have the dam made and in position so that all -the water will pass through the notch and no leaks, allow the water to -reach its full depth, then take square or rule and measure the exact -distance from the top of the stake driven in the stream to the top of -the water flowing towards the weir; 2d. Width of notch; 3d. Head and -fall, and send to us, and we will give you the power of your stream, -size of wheel to do the desired labor, &c. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration: STEAM ENGINE.] - - - - -STEAM ENGINES. - - -Careful experiments and practice with a view to properly proportion the -motive power to the work to be done has prepared us for giving valuable -information concerning steam engines for the purpose of flouring mills. -And when requested will furnish the engines themselves combining the -necessary qualities, and see in person that all the parts, speed, &c., -&c., be exactly adapted to do the work. When we furnish the engine, with -the other supplies of the mill, which is frequently the case, our -customers may rest assured all will be satisfactory as regards style of -finish, durability, sufficiency of power, and economy in the use of -fuel. We do not make engines ourselves, but purchase them of the best -makers, and if we should be consulted in all cases of whom to buy, -style, kind, &c., or be ordered to supply the engine direct, our -customers will be more likely to get what is best. - - - - -HANGING AND DRIVING MILL IRONS. - - -[Illustration: _FIG. 1_ - -_FIG. 2_ - -_FIG. 3._ - -Patented September 4, 1866, and August 1, 1871.] - -We do not think it necessary to write at length on the advantages of -this improvement, nor print our files of recommendatory letters. The -necessity among intelligent millers and mill-owners for a good and -durable self-tramming driving iron is already well established. Many -attempts have been made to devise something for the purpose, and the -results are numerous; among them the “slip driver,” and those with loose -oscillating appendages for the weight of the stone to rest upon and be -driven by, and when adapted to their work, imperfectly accomplish the -design; their lack of durability, the obstruction presented to the free -passage of grain or middlings to be ground, and the fact that their form -does not admit of a free adjustment while driving the stone are the -chief objections. It has been established that these faults are entirely -avoided by the improvement illustrated in the accompanying cut, in which -Fig. 1 is an elevation showing the iron ready to be cemented in the eye -of the runner. Fig. 2 is a view of the bottom and inside, with the -sockets for the reception of the ends of the driver. Fig. 3 is a -sectional elevation of all the parts, including the spindle and driver. - -The bridge S S, in which the steel cock-eye is placed, is in the form of -an inverted arch, and is a portion of the entire outside part. Being in -this shape, it has the double advantage of increased strength, and, by -the attachment above the point where the grain is distributed, making no -obstruction whatever to the passage of the grain or other substance to -be ground. The bearings for the ends of the driver, C C, are cast on the -adjustable section of the iron shown on the inner part of Fig. 2. This -being adjustable on the steel pins shown as passing through the lugs A -A, gives to the ends of the driver at all times a free and equal bearing -in a lateral direction. The object gained by this arrangement is the -application of power by the driver to the inner section in a direct -plane, parallel to the face of the runner stone, said plane at the same -time passing through the cock-eye--hence there is no tendency whatever -to tip the stone. - -When the ordinary spindle with stiff driver is put in tram to the face -of the runner, the miller has no assurance that it will remain so, the -chances, indeed, being constantly against it. The heaviest spindle is -liable to spring from its true position by the pressure of the gear or -belt in driving it; the face of the runner stone changes, and the best -driver, or its bearings, will from unequal wearing of the metal or in -other ways cause it to get out of tram. The results are uneven grinding, -inferior flour and diminished yield. The trouble necessary to take the -spindle out, turn over the runner, make a staff and file the ends of the -driver, is generally sufficient to deter the miller from performing the -disagreeable job, and the bad grinding is conveniently attributed to -some other difficulty. - -Among the advantages offered by this improvement are increased grinding -capacity with a given amount of power, more even grinding and better -yield, and lastly, but not less important, increased facility in -obtaining a perfect running balance. It will be observed that the runner -is supported upon a steel seat secured in the stone permanently--being -substantially the same in this respect as when the ordinary balance-iron -is used. - -The power being transmitted to the stone by the adjustable part of the -iron and no weight upon any part of it, with the entire structure of the -form to give the greatest attainable firmness and durability, combine to -make it perfection as a driving iron, and it is accordingly in extensive -use, although no especial effort has been made until late for their -manufacture and sale. They are made in the best manner by skillful men -and machinery adapted for the purpose, the parts well fitted and turned -true inside where the grain enters and passes. - -They are made of the following sizes: 8½, 10 and 12 inches diameter. - -To order for attaching to stones with other irons already in, give -diameter of the eye in stone at the face. - -Distance from the cock-head point to the lower side of the driver. - -Shape of cock-head as near as you can. - -Shape and exact size of spindle where your present driver goes on. - -In getting the shape as well as size of place where your present driver -fits, it is a good plan to oil the inside surface of the hole in driver -(in which the spindle fits) and fill it with plaster, then take out and -send the cast by express. The shape of cock-head may be got by similar -process. - -We will send necessary instructions, so that any one of medium skill can -put them in at the mill. - -Give names, post office, county, and shipping point plainly, and how you -wish to pay us. Money sent by Post Office Order is safe, and payment -with the order always saves delay and trouble of making out bills, -book-entries, &c. To those whose faith is not sufficient, will send the -irons on trial or as circumstances best suggest at the time. - -The safe arrival of them is guaranteed. Every iron is warranted. - -[Illustration: Fig. 1.] - -[Illustration: Fig. 2.] - -These two cuts are intended to represent the self-tram irons for our -under-runner mills. Fig. 1 shows the form of the outside, as it appears -before being bedded in the centre, and iron back of the runner stone. -Fig. 2 is a view of the inside, showing where the point of the spindle -and driver rest. - - - - -OIL BUSH. - - -[Illustration] - -This cut is a sectional view of our improved oil bush. A shows the mill -spindle, B B, B B, is the collar or part that turns with the spindle and -is secured firmly to it. The parts E E E E, show the upwardly projecting -sleeve at some distance from and encircling the spindle or shaft, and -forms the inner wall of the oil chamber. C C C C are two of the four -followers or segments lined with the best anti-friction metal. The -wedges N N, are raised or lowered as circumstances require by the four -metal screws, two of them being shown at S S; by this means the -followers and spindle are adjusted with great precision. D D D D forming -the outer wall of the chamber, and E E E E its bottom and inner part, -gives us a complete oil well in which the followers, collar of spindle, -&c., are immersed. THE OPERATION is as follows: the rotating shaft or -spindle carries with it the collar or sleeve bearing and produces -centrifugal force in the chamber, by which the oil is driven up the -sides of the passages and followers; the bearing is thus made to move -constantly in oil. No oil can escape except when necessary to draw off -at the orifice provided with the thumb screw K, when a fresh supply is -needed. This simple self-oiling arrangement is the best thing in use for -fast running upright bearings of any kind. - - - - -BULLOCK’ MILL BUSH. - -Patented December 31, 1867. - - -[Illustration: _Fig. 1_] - -The object of the invention which is herewith illustrated, is to enable -the spindles of mill-stones to be adjusted with perfect accuracy, and at -the same time furnish bearings of anti-friction materials, which may be -kept constantly and perfectly lubricated, and from which all extraneous -dust or grit, calculated to aggravate friction, may be kept excluded. - -Fig. 1 is a perspective view of this improvement, and Fig. 2 is a -sectional view of the same, showing details of construction. A, Fig. 2, -is the spindle, playing in segmental bearings B. - -There are four of these, which, together, make up the entire bearing for -the spindle. They are hollow, as shown in the engraving, and faced with -anti-friction surfaces. - -The outer sides of these segments are inclined, these surfaces resting -against the inclined inner surfaces of the hollow binding wedges C. -Through the lower part of these wedges pass hooked bolts, D, with thumb -nuts at their lower ends, by turning which the wedges are forced upward, -and the segments B being prevented from rising by the top plate E, are -forced inward till their surfaces are brought in proper proximity to the -spindle. - -[Illustration: _Fig. 2_] - -It is evident that by raising and lowering these wedges, as -circumstances require, the spindle can be adjusted with the greatest -accuracy. - -Lubrication is secured by placing a store of oil, in the chambers F, of -the segmental bearings B, from which it is fed, as wanted, through the -apertures G, to the bearing surfaces of the spindle and bush. Lastly, -the exclusion of dust and grit is secured by forming a chamber H, upon -the top plate of the bush, with an annular cap which shuts down over it, -and encloses the spindle, in which chamber is placed packing yarn or -other suitable material to intercept all extraneous material of this -character. - -The top plate is bolted down to the external portion of the bush, and -the whole enclosed, as shown in Fig. 1. - -All experienced millers are aware that the attainment of the above -objects by a simple device is a very desirable achievement. By the use -of this improvement the adjustment can be readily and accurately made, -and the wear of the spindle is reduced to a minimum. - -We can fit any size spindle from 3½ to 5 inches diameter, and have -three sizes of bushes, 7½, 8½ and 9½ inches square. In ordering -bushes, all that is necessary is to state the diameter of neck of -spindle and size of eye in bed stone, and the proper size bush will be -shipped. Satisfaction guaranteed. - -We have some half dozen different patterns of bushes ranging in price -from $2 to $20--some having three and some four followers for wood or -metal. - - -Lighter Screws and Hand Wheels. - -[Illustration] - -These engravings illustrate the style of hand wheel and screw with cap -and washer that we make and furnish with our combined husk mills, and -when ordered we send them with the irons needed with mill stones. The -figure on the right shows the hand wheel, screw cap and washer in -position when ready for operation. The wrought iron screw is cut in a -lathe and is what is termed a square thread. The wheel cap and washer -are all turned and polished, making a good looking, durable fixture, as -well as an accurate means of adjusting the stone. We sometimes make -these of brass. - - - - -Lighter Levers and Arched Step. - - -[Illustration] - -This shows our pattern for arched bridge pot and lighter lever for -geared mills or when an elevated step is wanted. The part holding the -steel on which spindle rests, is contained in a central lifting chamber, -which is turned to fit the body of the arch, like a piston, thus -allowing a perfect perpendicular movement without any liability to vary -from its true position; the heavy set-screw at the rear end of the lever -is to admit of more adjustment; the lever can be moved around at most -any required angle without interfering with any part of the step. We -provide means (not shown in this cut) to tram the spindle by screws -placed in the central lift part of the step, when desired. - - - - -Mill Steps. - - -Of these we have various styles, some sufficiently heavy for a six foot -mill stone, and to tram by screws. The centre lift part is constructed -in same style as the arch-step described above. We have patterns of all -lengths of lighter levers, as shown under head of Lighter Levers, which -fit over this style of step in same manner as shown, excepting we -provide an independent rest for the rear end of the lever and screw for -regulating it. This makes a very desirable rig for the lower end of mill -spindles in any mill, and are fast taking the place of all others. It -obviates the cutting of the bridge-tree or timber on which it rests. - -The steel on which the spindle-toe rests and presses sidewise in running -is constructed in various ways. In some situations we provide a flat -plate, below for taking the downward pressure, and above it a heavy -steel ring supported a little above to allow a chamber for the flow of -oil around the very extreme lower end of the steel spindle toe. This -chamber is free to be supplied with oil from the upper receptacle -through holes provided for the purpose. A bearing made with a hardened -steel plate below and a ring of good anti-friction metal around the -spindle-toe is the most desirable when properly constructed and of -suitable metals. - - - - -MILL CURBS AND HOOPS. - - -[Illustration: Fig. 1.] - -Of all the various styles and sizes we are better prepared to make than -any other establishment we know of in the United States. We keep on hand -large quantities of the material of which they are made so that it may -be thoroughly seasoned before use. Their construction is as follows: the -tops are made of double-thickness lapped and tongued and screwed -together. The body is made of pine staves, worked on a double-headed -tongueing and grooving machine made for this purpose, with their -mandrels in radius positions to make a close fitting joint for any size -we choose to make; the outside bands are of black walnut, under which we -place neat iron bands, one at the base and one near the top, under the -projecting curb or top. For protecting the wood from being affected, we -coat the inside with white lead paint, and give the outside three coats -of good varnish. In the preparation to ship them and keep every part -from the liability of damaging in the least, we make a complete -protection of a light frame work and circle pieces surrounding the -whole. When the hopper frame and feed rig is ordered we place them -inside. This not only makes a strong and durable cover to the -mill-stone, but one that for style of finish and attractive appearance -pleases all. - - - - -Silent Feeders. - - -[Illustration: Fig. 2.] - -Of these we make some half a dozen kinds, differing somewhat in -construction and appearance, some of which are shown in the accompanying -cuts. Fig. 1 is of the style known as “the glass globe tripod.” The -globe is made of the best clear flint glass from one-fourth to one-half -inch in thickness. The iron frame can be lifted from its bearings on the -curb at any time. The hand wheel and screw by which the feed to the -stone is regulated, is provided with a spring so that by pressing upon -the wheel the feed tube can be suddenly raised if necessary, when by the -action of the spring it will take its exact position as before. All the -parts are carefully fitted up, the hand wheel and such other parts -turned as necessary to complete it in a tasteful manner. - -[Illustration: - - Fig. 3. -] - -With those shown in Figs. 2 and 3 we make large or small conical -hoppers, of heavy tin, galvanized iron or brass. The feed rig shown in -Fig. 3 is called the Bracket Rig. The feed wheel is turned, and all -fitted up in same manner as the others, and suits more millers for -custom and merchant mills than the other styles. Those however which are -most frequently wanted is this bracket rig with the ordinary wooden -hopper and frame, after the style shown upon the mill on page 17. If a -feed attachment is wanted, with shoe and damsel for feeding corn, mixed -feed, &c., we usually send the kind shown on the mill, page 14. In all -cases where orders are given for any kind of a feed attachment for mill -stones, we must know the size of top of curb, size of opening in it and -distance from top of bail or balance iron to top of said curb, size of -eye in stone, and when feed plate is wanted, give width of said balance -bail, and if there is anything projecting above it, give its size and -shape, so that we can fit the feed plate, damsel or what may be ordered, -to it. - - - - -Proof Staff. - - -[Illustration] - -To promptly and satisfactorily fill all orders in this line we keep on -hand a complete assortment. The use of this article in a mill of two or -more run of stones is not as fully appreciated as it should be; we do -not see how a miller can well get along without it. - -The kind we furnish we think are the best in the market, exactly true, -made of the best shape to retain a true face, provided with a spirit -level in the back; for correctness no other can excel it, and the whole -is placed in a close fitting, nicely finished box. Three sizes are made, -see list. - - - - -Red Staffs. - - -[Illustration] - -These articles of the various sizes used in flour mills we make of the -best entirely dry and seasoned cherry lumber. The stuff is prepared by -suitable machinery, every piece carefully fitted, then secured by glue -and screws, the latter liberally put in. Both the staff and box are -finished in neat style, well varnished, and sold at a price that will -not pay for making them at the mill, unless the material was at hand and -advantages better than usual. - - - - -Mill Picks. - - -[Illustration] - -We have under our constant employ pick makers that know their business, -and we are having imported for this purpose a brand of English steel -made expressly for mill stone picks. We make three sizes with eyes, -unless otherwise ordered, as follows: light cracking, heavy cracking and -furrowing. (See price list for prices, weight, &c.) If any points -should prove defective (as will occasionally happen) do not have any -other maker or smith work on them, but return to us and we will make it -satisfactory, and send back at once, as we warrant every one. We have -ready for shipment several patent picks, some of which we have tested -and describe as follows: - - -Cumming’ Pick. - -[Illustration: Fig. 1.] - - -Description. - -[Illustration: Fig. 2.] - -[Illustration: Fig. 3.] - -Fig. 1 represents the entire Pick ready for use. In Fig. 2 the pick or -blade is shown in connection with the clamp-bar. While in Fig. 3 is -given a complete sectional view of all parts of the device. In this Fig. -C C represents the head or stock, and G the clamp-bar with its -wedge-shaped head H. At K is shown the blade with its upper end bent to -fit the notches in the clamp-bar. The device is perfect without the set -screw F. - -In adjusting for use the blade is placed upon the clamp-bar as shown in -Fig. 2, and both are inserted within the socket of the pick-head; they -are driven firmly into the socket by using. It will be seen that the -more powerful the blows upon the stone the more securely is the blade -confined within its socket, resulting from the wedge-like form of the -clamp-bar. While to remove the blade reverse the pick and strike the -opposite end of the clamp-bar on any solid substance, (a small piece of -iron placed on the face of the mill stone is most suitable,) when the -bar and blade will be instantly released, and another blade can be -readily inserted. The blades being of a uniform thickness and temper -only require grinding to sharpen. The wearing portion of each blade is -3½ inches; as they are worn by use they can be let down in the -ratchet. Ten blades furnished with each. - - -Crossley’ Pick. - -[Illustration: _Fig. 1_] - -[Illustration: _Fig. 2_] - -Fig. 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a sectional view. - -This improvement supplies a want long felt by millers, more especially -those who have not the convenience of sending their picks to a good -blacksmith who understands tempering steel. - -A is a wedge-shaped plate, which is attached to the handle by a screw -shank; B is a piece of metal made so as to partly fold about A, as -shown, but leaving a space between A and B, in which the steel bit C is -held by a lug formed upon it, which fits into a corresponding recess in -the plate B, as shown in the section, Fig. 2. - -It results from this arrangement that blows upon the bit C, in dressing -a stone, more firmly clamp and hold the parts together, while to loosen -them, all that is necessary is to tap the plate B on the end opposite -the cutting point or edge, which unwedges the two plates and releases -the bit. - -Two recesses are provided in the plate B, so that when the bit is worn -down it can be set further out from between the plates A and B. When one -end of the bit becomes so worn as to be no longer available, the bit is -reversed, and the other end applied to dressing the stone. Thus the bit -may be used until it is almost entirely worn away. It is retained -firmly, and yet is instantly detached for sharpening or for adjustment. - -The head is made of Malleable Iron, and the blades of the _very best -quality hammered cast steel_, tempered the whole length, and do not -require blacksmithing, but only to be ground when dull. - -The price places these Picks within the reach of every miller. - -Twelve 6 inch double blades sent with each head. - - - - -Hoisting Screw, Wrench, Bails and Pins. - - -[Illustration] - -We are well prepared for making the above articles and have all ordinary -sizes on hands ready for use. The outfit is of the very best material; -the wrench, screw, &c., is of wrought iron, and together with all the -parts is in fine proportion and of great strength. - - - - -Damsels. - - -These we generally make to order, but we keep at all times a few of such -as are mostly called for. - -Those with from three to five beaters, with staff, and all wrought -iron, are mostly ordered for merchant and sometimes custom mills. We -have a variety of patterns for cast iron damsels with oval beating part. -We turn and polish both kinds so as to make a neat and useful article. -In ordering these some needed dimensions are necessary to enable us to -meet expectations. - -[Illustration] - - - - -ELEVATORS. - - -[Illustration: Fig. 1.] - -This engraving represents the head and part of the trunk of an Elevator, -or what is termed an elevator head; Fig. 2 (on next page) represents the -elevator foot. An elevator head and foot as furnished by us includes -Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 with turned iron pulleys in them, the necessary -shafting, and an outside bevel or spur gear wheel or turned pulley to -receive power for driving the Elevator. - -NOTE.--The iron spider as represented leaning against the Elevator head -(Fig. 1) has no connection with any part of it except to show the shape -of our patterns in that line. - -[Illustration: Fig. 2.] - - - - -Elevator Cups (IMPROVED.) - - -Of all the sizes required for any kind of an elevator we make in our -establishment. Having long employed a workman on this work with special -machinery of our own, and as we buy the stock in large quantities, we -are as well equipped as it is possible to be for making this useful -appendage of a flour mill. Their advantages are: durability and economy, -the different sizes are perfectly uniform, of the smaller and medium -sizes the body is made of heavy tin, and all having an iron band neatly -and skilfully secured around the upper edge. It makes a thoroughly -strong, smooth, at the same time a light cup, and offering the least -resistance in passing through the grain of any cup now offered. - -They are less liable to catch on the sides of the Elevator trunking, and -no breaking and tearing as is common to the cheap wired or rough iron -cups secured to the belt in the ordinary manner. Cheap cups made in the -usual style, wired tops, for old mills and repair jobs, constantly on -hand. - - -Our Improved Fastening. - -This is of special advantage, has been used since 1869, and all who use -and see it pronounce it vastly superior. It is a copper clasp nicely -contrived to firmly clamp the bucket to the belt. It perforates the belt -and cup through two or three slotted openings. The cup can be easily -removed from the belt; it does not cut the belt so as to weaken it; it -prevents the cups from tipping as they pass down. The expense is some -more than screws, but those having put up common warehouse elevators -with this fastening, think it the cheapest article in use. - - - - -Bag Trucks. - - -[Illustration] - -The frequent calls for this useful article has induced us to prepare for -and make them in large quantities, until we find ourselves supplying the -leading retail and jobbing houses of the west cheaper than they have -been heretofore supplied by eastern makers. It is a better constructed -and more desirable tool than will generally be found. We make a box -truck also, similar in style. - - - - -Conveyor Flights. - - -Of all sizes required, made of sugar or maple lumber. They are smooth, -uniform and of desirable shape. In ordering, give dimensions of face or -front of flight and size of hole you intend driving the tenon into; -also, the size and kind of wood the shaft is made of. - - - - -BUCKWHEAT BOLTS. - - -We make these of various sizes. Some are wanted to make flour rapidly -for some particular markets, and require to be of large size, with -medium fine cloth. Those in most common demand are for custom mills and -of two sizes: one with 8 feet, and one with 10 feet reels in complete -chests with conveyor and necessary cut-offs for changing grade of flour; -a shaft with coupling, and outside pulley or pair of bevel gear wheels -is furnished, so that it can be driven from either end. Every thing is -done to facilitate the convenience of setting up and attaching power. -The cloth is made up of “Dufour & Co.’s best Dutch Anchor,” to fit the -reel, and of proper numbers for the work required. When a bolt is wanted -for this purpose we should know the capacity required of it, &c. - - - - -Meal Bolts. - - -These are made in chests with conveyor, cut-offs, &c., as described -under head of “Buckwheat Bolts.” Cloth adapted to requirements, either -of wire or silk. These are of two sizes, 5½ and 8 feet reels. - - - - -Belting. - - -“A good belt is what I want,” is the remark often made, and to supply -our already large trade in this line, we have made the necessary -arrangements to ship on call what may be wanted at the lowest rates. In -ordering, it is well to state the purpose for which it is wanted. For -elevators, we recommend leather belting; when something cheaper is -wanted, we furnish three-ply cotton duck. It is not so durable, but is -firm, and strong as any gum belt, and answers a good purpose for a cheap -warehouse, meal or feed elevator. - - - - -Perforated Zinc, Tin, Iron or Steel Plates. - - -Of most all sizes and shapes of holes for zig-zags. Riddles, malt-kiln -floors, corn screen, and smut mill jackets furnished at low rates. - - - - -Screen Wire. - - -For wheat screen, meal bolts, &c., from number 2 to 24 meshes to the -inch, most all widths, in any quantity desired. Wire is even and good -size to form a strong fabric. - - - - -Duster Wire. - - -English and American wire for bran-dusters, 9 inches wide. The kinds -mostly in demand we keep in stock. - -NOTE.--In ordering perforated plates or woven wire, it is best to give -us as much time as possible, as it is impossible to keep made up and in -stock all the kinds wanted. - - - - -PRICES, TERMS AND WEIGHTS. - - -From our price list, although full and explanatory, it is difficult for -some to get a clear understanding, especially when a complete outfit is -wanted, including every iron, belt, &c., to attach power; therefore, -write us stating clearly as possible your wants, when we will make a -proposal of cost. We will send our printed weight and price list, when -required. - -As a rule when our customer is ready to order, or on our commencing the -work and making it ready for shipment, we require a payment of from -one-eighth to one-half of the whole amount, and settlement on or before -delivery, which is when a shipping receipt is taken, as the work then -passes into the ownership of the purchaser. By special arrangement we -often ship to the care of some satisfactory person or firm who will -receive and make settlement for the supplies. This person may reside at -or near to the point of destination. Do not think us exacting; all we -want is an equivalent for our products and some reasonably safe means of -getting it. - - - - -TESTIMONIALS. - - -Under this head we have a few voluntary letters, answers and extracts -from those who are using our Mills, &c. Manufacturing the outfits of -grinding mills being our special business, it has been our custom to -keep regularly informed by correspondence as to any objections or -defects there could be in our work, and the results are numerous -answers, which we have endeavored to print worded the same as they -appear in the letters. In some cases, of course, the ideas are somewhat -disconnected, as they were not written for the special purpose of -publishing, but it is the facts that we are after, and they -unquestionably show that our efforts to make the BEST MILL NOW OFFERED -are a success, besides imparting much valuable information, some of the -writers having spent half a lifetime in the milling business. All of -these letters may be seen on file at our office, and the mills in their -respective places in constant use. - - -Two 36 Inch Geared Mills. - - -CEDAR POINT, Chase Co., Kansas, Dec. 12, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co:-- - - -Agreeably to your request we write to inform - -you how we are getting along with our mill. We started our wheat burrs -on the first inst. We had promised our customers we would do this months -ago. We run through just enough of our own wheat to fill the mill and -get the flour started, and then commenced on grist work. The first was a -grist of spring wheat. We took one-sixth toll and made 30 lbs. of flour -per bushel, which was pronounced by the owner the best he had ever had -in Kansas, and he is an old resident here. We have been grinding -regularly since, and in no instance have we heard one word of complaint. -On the contrary, we are fast gaining a reputation, and the prospect for -lively times with us is most flattering. This and the adjoining counties -are full of wheat, and there is a very large scope of new country to be -supplied south and west of us. We have already made about one hundred 98 -lb. sacks of flour for ourselves, and have sold the most of it. It is -evident we are not going to be able to do the work with one run for -wheat. We have only run ten days, and our flour has already gone from -twenty to sixty miles. We think that you will agree with us that our -mill is a perfect success. We set up the burrs ourselves, and got Mr. -Britton of Cottonwood Falls Mills to assist us in getting the other -machinery in line. What is the least in cash at which you can furnish us -a Bolt like the one we have, with Elevators, Gearing, &c., and a Geared -30 inch Corn Mill? Hoping to hear from you soon, we are, - -Yours respectfully, -O. H. DRINKWATER & Co. - -In January, 1871, the above firm ordered a 16 feet double reel bolt, and -another mill; they were shipped soon after, and we have another letter -dated as follows: - - -CEDAR POINT, Chase Co., Kansas, April 9, 1872. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co:-- - -The mill machinery we purchased of you gives first-rate satisfaction. -The two run of three feet geared mills we run with a 48 inch Leffel -wheel under 7 feet head while at work, and grinding 10 bushels per hour -on each mill. The 2½ feet under-runner corn mill we run with a 35 -inch Leffel wheel under same head, and grind 15 bushels of corn into -fine meal per hour with ease. This same wheel runs both the single and -double reel bolts that you sent us, as well as the other machinery of -the mill excepting the two wheat stones. Our works are all of your make, -and we have been running since the 1st of December, 1869, and are well -satisfied with the whole outfit. They have been used almost constantly -to do our grinding which is considerable and on the increase. We do as -good work as any mill in the State, and any one wanting good works in -this line, we would recommend to you. - -DRINKWATER & SCHRIVER. - - -It is the Best Machinery for Custom Work. - - -ETNA GREEN, Kosciusko Co., Ind., Feb. 3, 1870. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co:-- - -_Gents_:--Will say in reply to your inquiry, the 36 inch Mill I bought -of you in November, 1869, gives entire satisfaction. I can average ten -bushels an hour, and the 22 ft. Bolt does the separating of the bran and -flour complete; the work is giving general satisfaction. The 26 inch -feed Mill is all you recommend them to be. The Smut and Separating -Machine is the best, I verily believe, in use. It is sure pop on cheat -and rotten wheat; and, in short, all filth. I will say it makes the -wheat fit for grinding, complete. I did grind twenty bushels in seventy -minutes, by the watch, and did good work, on the 36 inch mill. My mill -is driven by a 7¼ inch by 16 inch cylinder engine, and boiler 16 ft. -long, 4 feet in diameter with three flues. I can make an average on the -two run of 22 bushels per hour. With two cord of wood will grind on the -two run over two hundred bushels. I have been engaged in the flour -milling business for twelve years, and would say, the above described -machinery is the best I have found for custom work; this is my main -business. - -CHARLES FRIBLEY, -Miller and Proprietor. - - -Pulley Mills--No better in the State of Ohio. - - -JOHNSVILLE, Montgomery Co., O., Jan. 24, 1870. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co:-- - -I have two of your mills, with bolt, and smut machine, 36 inch for -wheat, upper-runner, and 30 inch under-runner cock-head mill for corn; -have been running them constantly since August, 1868. I have taken hold -of the mill myself; I can make more flour to the bushel than the miller -I had. I have made 40½ pounds of the best of flour out of a bushel of -wheat and toll one-eighth. I have had splendid luck in grinding. My -miller had run me out of custom, but I am restoring it again. I have got -the burrs in better order than they ever were; can grind close and make -the best of flour. I can take a bushel of the best Tappahannoc wheat and -make 47 pounds of splendid flour. I have made 42 pounds of common red -wheat and tolled one-eighth, which would be 5¼ pounds added to 42 -pounds, making 47¼ pounds of good flour. I have been awfully -humbugged in getting poor millers; have made but little and lost custom. -The first time I dressed the wheat burr, I run the corn stone all -day-ground buckwheat, and cracked the wheat burr in one day. She then -ground splendid and clean at the rate of ten bushels per hour. - -A. CLEMMER. - - -Under a more recent date we quote from another letter: “I am running the -mills yet with better success than ever, making good flour and large -yields. On several tests have made 47½ lbs. lately of excellent flour -from ordinary red wheat. If you could give me some information about -keeping the furrows in the stones in order to grind cool and fast, I -would be thankful; as far as keeping in tram and cracking the face, I am -doing very well. I grind close and bolt clean. I have taken 60 lbs. of -good white wheat and made 50 lbs. of flour. What do you think of this? -The farmers say I can beat any mill they have tried. Please answer, and -give me all the instruction you can. It may be best for me to get a No. -1 Dresser to work on the furrows some, and I may catch items by it. I -have an order from New York for 100 bbls. of flour at this time. I would -like to exchange a half dozen of those light picks you sent me for heavy -ones, and pay the difference. I like a 2 pound pick the best for light -cracking. - -Yours truly, -ANDREW CLEMMER.” - - -Three Geared Mills. No Expense for Repairs. - - -GREEN CAMP, Marion Co., O., March 22, 1870. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., Richmond, Ind.:-- - -It gives us pleasure to write that we have used the Mills furnished us -by you, since May 28, 1868--two 42 inch Wheat, one 30 inch Corn -under-runner. The Wheat Mills have run ever since without one cent -repairs, and without any apparent wear--the balance being so perfect, -and being put up in so substantial a manner. They give entire -satisfaction, always doing their work in the best possible manner. The -two 22 feet Bolts are all that we could wish, doing their work well, -without one cent’ repair. The Corn Stone, under-runner, 30 inches, will -do double the work of 42 inch upper-runner Corn Mills, and do the work -_well_. The Smut Machine always does its work well. The work was all put -up in so substantial a manner by your James Albertson that we have never -made any repairs, only to replace perforated zinc on Smut Machine. Our -flour always brings the highest prices. - -Yours, respectfully, -FOSTER & KANABLE. - - -Cannot do Better. - - -WESTFIELD, Hamilton Co., Ind., Jan. 8, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--In answer to your letter of inquiry of Dec. 30. Your mills -are doing well, they are giving as good yields and better flour than the -large, old style mills. Your 30 inch upper-runner mills for wheat, grind -from six to ten bushels of wheat per hour, and your 36 inch mill from -eight to twelve bushels of wheat per hour. By crowding a little when the -stones are sharp, will grind much more than I have stated. Your bolts -and smut machines work well; your mills run light, considering the work -to do. A 15 horse power engine, 8 by 16 inch cylinder, will drive two -run of your 30 inch mills,--60 pounds of steam,--and will drive them -twelve hours with one cord of wood. I think all wanting mill machinery -cannot do better than to order from the “Richmond Mill Works.” - -Yours, respectfully, -DAVID CAREY. - - -36 Inch Geared Mill, 20 feet Bolt and Smutter. - - -NEW MAYSVILLE, Putnam Co., Ind., March 1, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Sirs_:--I must tell you about the mill that I got from you. I am well -pleased with it. I can grind from twelve to fifteen bushels per hour, -and make first-class flour. I have run twelve hours with a half a cord -of wood. I have a good custom and still gaining. I have done the best -work with your mill that has been done in this country. There are -several mills around me. I have stopped some of them from running; they -get nothing to do in the line of custom-work. If I gain in work for the -next six months, like I have for the last, I will have to get another -mill. I am getting all I can grind now. - -Yours, -LEWIS W. GEORGE. - - -Mr. George’ mill is driven by a large sized Portable Engine. - -N., M. & Co. - - -From same place we hear from Mr. George again under date of March 20th, -1872. I am still running the mill here that I got of you. I am looking -for a larger engine, and can you give me information as to prices, size, -&c., for three run of stones, same size as you sent me before? Suppose -your prices and terms are the same. I have ground 100 bushels per day on -this one on the average, and use ¾ cord of wood per day. I have -regular customers that come by the doors of my competitors. Here they -say they get better flour and more of it than at the old style water -mills, and their own flour from their own wheat. In the four years that -I have used your mill I have had but one item or bill of repairs to -foot, which was one set of wood cogs. I often grind 15 bushels per hour, -and do good work, but find the bolt will not clean it so well at this -speed of grinding. I like your larger bolts, as improved, much better. I -grind when the stones are in average condition as to sharpness 8 to 10 -bushels per hour, and satisfy all in quality and yield of flour. There -are two mills at Bainbridge, 7 miles, and two others, 6 and 7 miles in -other directions, so you see I have competition all around me. Now, -give me figures on the other mills, with your improvements. I have been -a miller over 20 years and want a model job. - -Yours, respectfully, -L. W. GEORGE. - - -One 3½ ft. Wheat Mill, and One 30 inch Corn in Combined Husk. - - -SPEIER, Blue Earth Co., Minn., July 16, ’72. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--I started my mills on the fourth day of July. It gives -entire satisfaction. It over-reaches your recommendation. My miller says -he thinks the burrs the best he ever saw. I think I will be able to meet -my note promptly at the expiration of the sixty days given. - -Very respectfully, -GEO. W. WOODHAM. - - -Corn Mill and Portable Engine. - - -CANOLA, Howard Co., Kansas, June 17, 1872. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., Richmond, Ind.:-- - -_Gents_:--Yours of 7th inst. is received, and will say in answer, that -our mill came through all right and complete, excepting the hopper -frame, which we mended without any expense, consequently did not report -it. After thoroughly trying the mill, have to say that it fully comes up -to the warrant, and beats it, as we can grind from 25 to 30 bushels per -hour of good merchantable meal, with our Gaar, Scott & Co.’s fifteen -horse engine and 80 lbs. of steam, and if we were to buy another mill it -would be of the same brand. - -Respectfully, yours, -MORGAN & LATTA. - - -What an Old Mill-Wright Says. - - -GUTHRIE, Lawrence Co., Ind., June 27, 1872. - -_Gents_:-- - -The grist mills we purchased of you that we are using, are all right. -Our miller has followed mill-wrighting and milling for 30 years with us, -and he says that a better mill never run than the “Richmond Mill and -Bolt,” as they are now improved. - -KINSER & WHISENAND. -MOSES FRENCH, Miller and Millwright. - - -The Nordyke or Richmond Mill, Stands the Test. - - -BOXLEY, Hamilton Co., Ind., June 21, ’72. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gents_:--At your request I will write you what I am doing with the mill -you made. My engine is a 10×18 inch cylinder, boiler 42 inches diameter -and 20 feet long, with two large flues, and the stones, if you -recollect, are one of your heavy husk, 3 feet upper-runner mills for -wheat, and one of your 30 inch under-runner for corn and feed, and with -one and a half cords of wood every ten hours we can grind the week -through 10 bushels per hour on the wheat stone, and 20 bushels per hour -of corn on the corn stone. It has now been over four years since this -mill was started, but it does better work now than then, because of its -better management. I have new customers almost every week from near -other mills. It is no mistake, I make better flour--and my millers have -discovered it--than any of the larger mills through this country. I -need another run of wheat stones and bolts, as with them I could manage -the whole with my engineer and miller, and do about double the wheat -grinding with but little additional expense. Out of the wheat of the -year before last I made 40 pounds of flour from weighed wheat per -bushel, after tolling one-eighth; from last year’ wheat I could not do -it, it being rather light in this section. - -Yours very truly, -RILEY WILSON. - - -Its Equal Cannot be Found in the State. - - -GREENFIELD, Ind., Dec. 23, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--Yours of 23d inst. came to hand this date and contents -noted. Our mill gives perfect satisfaction, and must say we don’ think -its equal can be found in the State, of its size. Our smut mill can’ be -beat. We would cheerfully recommend your mills to any one that -contemplates building or refitting, in preference to any other mill. Our -old mill was burned on the night of July 3. We commenced cutting timber -for the new mill July 17, and the building was ready for the machinery -August 7; machinery set up and running October 12, and during the time -of setting up machinery one week was lost by the sickness of your -mill-wright. The machinery of our other mill was made in Cincinnati, but -it does not at all compare in finish and usefulness to our present -mills. We now run three pair of stones, and grind faster on each of -them, with less fuel, than we did on two pair before. We have two pair -of 36 inch wheat burrs and one pair of 30 inch corn burrs in one of your -Combined Mill Husks with long spindles; all three are under-runner -cockhead mills. They are driven by eight inch belts, with tightner -pulleys. This way of driving is so convenient for stopping and starting -the burrs, that we would now use no other arrangement. Our two Bolts are -single reel, 22 feet long. We have ground fifteen bushels per hour on -each of the wheat mills, and twenty bushels per hour on the corn stone. -When the wheat mills are in moderate order we consider ten to twelve -bushels per hour a fair speed for grinding and bolting, and making a -good yield. Our customers often get 40 and 41 pounds of flour to the -bushel after tolling. Our Engine is 10½ inch cylinder and 20 inch -stroke; it runs 110 revolutions per minute. Eighty pounds of steam will -drive all three run with ease. It requires about four cords of wood to -convert five hundred bushels of wheat into prime flour. We can say but -little more in relation to our mill, other than this, that any one -contemplating building a mill would do well to see our mill before -building; would be pleased to have you come out and see our mills run, -and should you have occasion at any time to refer people to us, would be -happy to show them our mill and give them what information we are able -to. - -Yours, with respect, -WOOD & Co. - - -On Feb. 14, 1870, Mr. Wood stated to us in person that on Feb. 12, they -ground twenty bushels of corn into nice family meal in forty-three -minutes, or at the rate of nearly _thirty bushels per hour_. - -N., M. & Co. - - -Another Letter Near Three Years Afterwards. - - -GREENFIELD, Hancock Co., Ind., May 18th, 1872. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., - -_Gentlemen_:--Yours of 10th inst. came duly to hand; have been so very -busy have not found time to answer sooner. We can only repeat what has -already been said in relation to our mill; it gives perfect -satisfaction. We would not like to be considered vain, but we do think -we have the best mill in the State. Our mill has stood the test of near -three years constant and hard labor, with no perceptible wear. - -Yours respectfully, -WOOD & Co. - -WM. G. SALLIE, Miller. - -This mill is located on the P., C. & St. L. R. R., 20 miles east of -Indianapolis. - - -URBANA, Ohio, Sept. 20, 1870. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co. - -_Gents_:--Your mill gives entire satisfaction. Enclosed please find -check on First National Bank of Cincinnati for the full amount of your -bill. - -Yours truly, -H. M. CHEW. - - -36 Inch and 30 Inch Geared Mills. - - -BROOKSTON, White Co., Ind., Aug. 5, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., - -_Gentlemen_:--We expressed you the amount of last note on mills -yesterday. We have commenced grinding new wheat, but it is in rather bad -condition yet. We are doing a very good business, and are giving perfect -satisfaction in quality and quantity. We can make from 35 to 40 pounds -of flour per bushel, and grind on an average from eight to ten bushels -per hour. We have a 25 horse power engine, and can run both mills, bolt, -smutter, elevator, conveyors and corn shellers with from 60 to 70 pounds -of steam, and do it with all ease. - -Yours, truly, -A. VENCIL & Co. - -Oct. 20, 1869, Messrs. Vencil & Co. ordered their third run--a 36 inch -geared mill, together with 20 feet Bolt, No. 1, Richmond Smut and -Separating Machine, Flour Packer, &c. - -N., M. & Co. - - -UNIONTOWN, Bourbon Co., Kansas, Aug. 26, ’71. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., - -_Gents_:--Find enclosed draft on New York for twelve hundred and -eighty-eight dollars and sixty-five cents, which, if you have not -forgotten, is the amount of the first note. Please send it (the note) -with the name torn off. Our mill gives entire satisfaction. Will write -more fully in the future. - -FOSTER & KIRBY. - - -Perfect Custom Flour and Corn Mill. - - -MONITOR, Tippecanoe Co., Ind., March 1, 1872. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., Richmond, Ind.: - -_Gents_:--We have used your machinery with persevering energy, now -commencing the second year, and have a larger custom patronage than all -of the other four mills nearest us. Our machinery consists of a 42-inch -iron turbine water wheel, under 9 feet working head; one 3 feet -upper-runner mill for wheat; one 30-inch under-runner mill for corn; one -Richmond Smutter with screen shoe separator; one 20 feet bolt, all of -which you made for us. - -The wheat mill runner is in such perfect balance that we can run it -within thin paper thickness of the face of bed-stone; thus face to face -it will run with nothing whatever between them to the speed of 270 -revolutions per minute. Any grinding mill, no matter how heavy the -runner stone, can be made to do this, if provided with your -improvements; and it pays well to have a mill so rigged. When the hoop -is on our wheat mill, a man standing six feet off and looking at the -nicely turned back, cannot tell that they are running. Not a particle of -jar or shake about them. The self-tram irons are the nicest thing ever -invented; would not do without them for half the price of the whole -mill. With one-third gait we can grind of wheat 8 to 10 bushels per -hour, and make more and better flour to the bushel, than any mill our -Mr. Fretz (in his 18 years of milling experience) has ever seen. - -With a full gate it may surprise you to know that we grind of corn on -the corn mill 25 to 40 bushels per hour. Our flour stands the highest of -any that comes to LaFayette. There is no such thing as choking down, as -is so often experienced with other mills. We would advise those wanting -mill machinery to go to the Richmond firm and look before they buy -elsewhere, or they are welcome to see our mills run, which will satisfy -any one that understands anything at all about a mill. It only took us -15 days to set up our mills for running. Our machinery was shipped from -works on the 1st day of February, to Lafayette, and on the 13th we -commenced setting up by the assistance of your mill-wright, and on the -1st day of March, 1871, we started up and run every working day since, -and without any expense at all for repairs or changes. Our pulleys being -balanced, there is no such thing as any of the bearings heating. Our -mills are run with 10 inch belts from upright shaft and pulleys. The -smutter does better work than the Eureka or Silver Creek. - -Yours, with respect, -REDINBO, FRETZ & BRO. - -D. B. Fretz, } Millers and -W. B. Fretz, } Proprietors. - - -Three Pair of Burrs in a Combined Husk, with Belts. - - -MONROVIA, Morgan Co., Ind., Feb. 22, 1870. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gents_:--It has been eight months since you re-fitted our mill. We can -run all of the Burrs, (one 42-inch and one 36-inch for wheat, and -30-inch under-runner for corn,) twelve hours on one cord of seasoned -beech or sugar-tree wood. With 50 to 60 pounds of steam we grind on each -Burr eight to ten bushels per hour. Our customers are highly pleased -with their yields and the quality of their flour. In fact, our custom -has more than doubled since the introduction of your mills. On our own -account, we can say, in simplicity, durability and lightness of running -it exceeds our expectations, and, if necessary, at any time can -cheerfully recommend to others wishing mill machinery. - -Yours, truly, -HADLEY & TAYLOR. - - -After Years of Steady use they Say. - - -MONROVIA, Morgan Co., Ind., May 8, 1872. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., Richmond, Ind.:-- - -It is now three years since we overhauled our mill and put in your -improved machinery; since which time it has been run almost daily as a -custom mill, and in quality and quantity of flour gives universal -satisfaction. In fact, the custom increased one-half since its -introduction. We find it very permanent and durable, as well as tasteful -in style and finish. We can grind at least 10 bushels per hour with each -run of burrs, and use from one to one and a fourth cord of wood in ten -hours’ grinding on all three stones. We would recommend all desirous of -purchasing mill machinery to procure yours, believing their money will -be well invested if they do. - -Yours, truly, -HADLEY & TAYLOR. - - -MADISON, Indiana, May 6, 1872. - -_Gents_:--Yours of the 3d inst came duly to hand, making inquiries how -we are pleased with our mills that we purchased of you over three years -since, (we expected to write you before this.) If you remember our Burrs -are sharp old quarry, not very open, and they make very lively flour, -and don’ get dull as soon as most others. Our stones are, two pair of -upper-runner 3 feet mills. We make a barrel of flour with 3 pecks of -coal; we do not know that we could say anything more, excepting that -they work fine, and together with the bolt you made for us, make flour -that we can find ready sale for in any market along with the best -brands. Your flour bolt deserves special mention; with the knockers or -“percussion apparatus,” as you term it, which we can stop or start at -any time while the mill is running, we are able to keep the bolt clean -and bolt through the fine cloth without specking or injuring the flour. -The arrangement of the bolt for clean bolting, we think is your best -effort. - -Very truly, yours, -W. W. & B. F. PAGE. - -The above is from Madison, Indiana, 60 miles below Cincinnati, on the -Ohio river. - - -ROCHESTER, Ind., Feb. 14th, 1872. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--Our custom work runs from 60 to 250 bushels per day of -wheat, besides a large amount of corn. Although there are several mills -here, our flour has the preference, and sells more ready than any; the -self-tram irons are perfect. You shall hear from us again. - -Yours, truly, -A. L. BOWMAN & Co. - -This mill is composed of two run of our 42-inch and one run 30-inch in -combined husk, the two former being upper-runner, latter under-runner. -They use our 20 feet double reel bolt and other supplies for the -complete furnishing of a mill. - - -Two 30 Inch Pulley Mills. - - -CARMEL, Hamilton Co., Ind., Jan. 4, 1869. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--The mills purchased of you last May, set up and started by -David Carey, have given entire satisfaction. Our mill consists of two -run of 30-inch upper-runner burrs, pulley mills--one for corn and one -for wheat--can grind from seven to ten bushels of wheat into the best -merchantable flour, and from ten to fifteen bushels of corn into fine -meal, per hour on each burr. Our bolt is sufficient to bolt the above -amount, and performs well. Our mills and machinery is driven by an -engine, 8 by 16-inch cylinder, and runs 170 revolutions to the minute. -We can run the entire machinery ten hours on three-fourths of a cord of -wood, have been running almost every day since we started up. Our custom -is still on the increase, extending over a great amount of country. We -run now every day, while other mills in town and immediate vicinity do -not run now to exceed two days in the week. Your mill and bolt -arrangement is the only thing suitable for custom, and does well for -merchant work. We would recommend persons who think of buying mills, to -give you a call--or if we purchase again we will do so. We will take -pleasure in showing any one our mill. - -Yours, respectfully, -CAREY & ROBERTS. - - -Lay by Your Old Notions.--36 inch and 30 inch Pulley Mills. - - -CUMBERLAND, Guernsey Co., O., Feb. 14, 1870. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Sirs_:--We have used your mills since the 4th of last November. We -consider them durable as any mills can be. We can grind on our 36-inch -wheat mill from fifteen to twenty bushels per hour, owing to the grain, -and can make flour that will satisfy any community, both in regard to -quality and quantity. On our 30-inch corn mill, we can grind forty -bushels per hour, if the corn is dry. Our miller says he can make forty -barrels of XX family flour in ten hours. We have a twenty-five horse -power engine. Our boiler is twenty-two feet long, for two inches in -diameter, and two flues. It affords enough power, under seventy pounds -pressure, to drive both mills together with their attendant machinery, -which is one of your twenty-two foot Flour Bolts, No. 1 Richmond Smut -Machines, Buckwheat Bolts, Elevators, Shafting, &c. Three bushels of -coal per hour is all we require. To those wishing mills we would just -say they had better lay by their old notions and procure improved mills. - -Yours, &c., -HOWELL BROTHERS. - - -Mill and Bolt Cannot be Beat. - - -HAMBURG, Fremont Co., Iowa, Jan. 11, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Dear Sirs_:--I have had one of your 36-inch Pulley Mills and 18 feet -Bolt in operation nearly one year. I like it very much; my flour gives -general satisfaction; am averaging ten bushels of wheat per hour on the -one pair of burrs, making the best flour. In short, I think your Mill -and Bolt cannot be beat. It is driven by one of Leffel’ 20-inch Double -Turbine Wheels, under a total head and fall of 11 feet 9 inches. - -Yours, respectfully, -H. LAMB. - -Under date of January 25, 1870, Mr. Lamb orders another run of 36-inch -burrs, together with bolt, &c., complete. - - -What One of Our three feet and 26 Inch Under-Runner Mills will do. - - -HOUSTONIA, Pettis Co., Missouri, March 3, ’72. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gents_:--The balance of the things we ordered came to hand yesterday. -We have started the corn mill and the way it ground, we were all -surprised; 30 bushels per hour of fine meal is a side show for it. The -miller says he can grind 40 bushels per hour of corn into fine even -meal, every part of the works go off right; will be ready to start the -wheat mill last of this week. Our miller is an old experienced hand, and -is doing a good job in putting the wheat stones in flouring condition; -will write you soon again how we succeed in making flour; have strong -competition, and it must do 1st class work to prove a good investment. - -Yours, respectfully, -J. L. WILLIAMS & Co. - - -Under date of March 11th, 1872, they say, after ordering another flour -bolt, “That you sent us a splendid pair of wheat burrs; they grind so -rapid that we find we need the other bolt to do the work. I think we -have the best mill in the State or any other State. The machinery works -well, beyond my expectation. On the one run of wheat stones we can make -with the new bolt 6 to 7 one hundred pound sacks of good flour per hour. -Ship as soon as you can with the numbers of cloth as describe in your -letter. We want to send some lots of fancy flour to St. Louis. Our -miller is an old St. Louis miller, and he says with this addition he can -compete with any mill in St. Louis or any other place. - -“Yours, -J. L. WILLIAMS & Co.” - - -The mill-wright who set up and started this mill, writes from same P. -O., dated March 17, ’72, “That I have to write you that this mill beats -any mill of its size that I ever saw. We started the wheat mill last -Saturday in the afternoon, and run it three-and-a-half hours, and ground -65 bushels of wheat, and could have ground more if we could have bolted -it. Everything runs like a top; they will send you a specimen of their -flour as soon as they get some sacks, then you can see what kind of -flour it makes; 30 bushels per hour for the corn mill is an easy thing, -and it does nice even work. - -“Respectfully, yours, -ALONZO M. COLE.” - - -WESTFIELD, Clark Co., Illinois, May 11, 1872. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--It has now been ten months since we started our mill, -purchased of you, and you will, no doubt, be glad to hear that it more -than fills your representations of its good qualities. We make flour -that brings the highest price, and have competition of other mills at -almost our doors. The mills, bolt, and all in our opinion excels in -style and finish all other mills we have seen, and one of our firm has -owned and used for many years several of the leading kinds now -advertised and for sale. The temper and sharpness of the burrs are very -good. With our power it takes near one cord of wood to make 20 barrels -of flour. The quality and yield of the flour cannot be surpassed by any -mill, as we take it all out, leaving the offal clean. If we need any -thing more in your line, will let you know at once, because you have so -far fully met our wants. - -Yours, truly, -BOLTON & WOOD. - - -Would not Exchange their Mill for anything Known. - - -NINEVEH, Johnson Co., Ind., Nov. 28, 1867. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--You will please find enclosed four hundred and eleven -dollars, the amount of note and interest of the note we gave you, due on -the 30th inst., which note you will please send us marked paid. Our mill -is still doing a splendid business. We make the best flour in this -section of the country, and as much to the bushel. We weighed one man’ -wheat--19 bushels, then weighed the flour, after taking one-eighth toll, -and made him 41 pounds to the bushel. The burrs and their gearing work -very nicely. To use a common expression, they cannot be beat; would not -exchange them for anything known. We can grind as much in a given time -as any of the large merchant mills; make better flour and as much to the -bushel. We can grind fifteen bushels per hour on either of the wheat -run, and forty bushels of corn on the corn run, with a 20-horse engine, -10 by 16 inch cylinder, and uses about one cord of good wood in ten -hours, for driving one wheat and the corn run. The meal is of even -quality, and well ground. The only fault found with our flour is, one -man says, his “wife set rising in the morning and had to bake bread -before dinner, when flour that she had used heretofore would wait till -after dinner.” This, however, is easily remedied. - -Yours, with much respect, -BARNETT, JONES & PUDNEY. - - -NINEVEH, Johnson Co., Ind., Oct. 18, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gentlemen_:--We write you in regard to a bolt for rye and -buckwheat--wish it to attach to our corn mill. We think a small one will -answer, but want it to be of sufficient capacity for the mill, which -grinds pretty lively. We have now been running the mills bought of you, -since August 23, 1867, two 36-inch for wheat and one 26-inch for corn, -bolts, shafting, smutter, &c. We are so crowded with custom work that it -is impossible to grind it in six days a week--it may seem strange to -you, but it is so. If we had the bolt referred to, we can run all at -once, and possibly keep up. Gents, we have proven beyond a doubt to the -mill men of this section that your mills beat them all, and can now say -that we have effectually dried up all the old style mills in this -country, on custom work. We have some customers that come to us -twenty-five miles, and pass two other mills on the trip. You will please -give us your lowest figures for the bolt complete, with suitable cloth. -We have bought Mr. Barnett out. - -Yours, truly, -JONES & PUDNEY. - - -One of the Best Smutters and Separators. - - -WEST ALEXANDRIA, O., Nov. 22, 1869. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -I will write you a few lines and tell you something about that Smutter -we bought from you. I can truly recommend it to be one of the best -Smutters and Separators that I ever run. I have run a good many -Smutters, but never run a machine that pleased me as well as this. It -does just right in every way; it can’ be beat. - -Yours, truly, -ABRAHAM WEIMER, Miller. -MICHAEL KLINGER, Proprietor. - - -Mr. Klinger is using one of our No. 1 Richmond Smut and Separating -Machines; also, one of our twenty feet Portable Bolts, complete, and one -pair of 42-inch new stock burrs. It is an old mill remodeled. - -N., M. & Co. - - -36 Inch Mill Makes Superior Flour. - - -DANVILLE, Hendricks Co., Ind., Jan. 1, 1869. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.-- - -_Gentlemen_:--New Year’ day, and feeling grateful to you for the -complete mill machinery you furnished us, we send you our thanks in the -shape of an acknowledgment of the same, and hope that all mills you may -put up hereafter may prove as satisfactory as ours. Our mills are two -buildings--one for sawing and one for the flour mill. We have two run of -burrs, one for wheat, 36 inches, on which we can grind from eight to -twelve bushels per hour; also, one 30 inch corn, under-runner, and -grinds from twelve to fifteen bushels per hour; both are pulley mills, -with your late improvements. Our flour is of superior quality, and -therefore gives general satisfaction. Our engine is of ample power, and -with one cord of good wood per day of 10 hours, and 50 lbs. of steam, -runs the mills up to their full capacity. We have a tubular boiler, 14 -feet long, with forty-six flues. Hoping this may find a welcome, we -subscribe ourselves, - -Gratefully, yours, -CHAMBERS & PIERSON. - - -42 Inch, 36 Inch and 26 Inch Burrs. - - -NORTH STARR MILLS, Warren, Huntington Co., Ind., -January 6, 1869. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.-- - -_Gentlemen_:--June 2d, 1868, our mills, bought of you, were shipped at -your depot, and your man assisted us in setting up, with two carpenters. -We started up on the 26th day of June, 1868, must say we had a very -successful start. Ours is a geared mill and consists of two French burrs -of the following dimensions: One 42-inch mill and one 36-inch mill, -former for wheat, latter for corn. Our bolt is 20 feet long, 33-inch -reel. All is easily run by 50 pounds of steam. 11 by 22-inch cylinder -engine. We use 1½ cords of wood in 12 hours for both run, to full -capacity. Average grinding capacity is 12 bushels per hour, with a yield -of from 40 to 42 pounds of merchantable flour that will bear inspection -in any market. Any one wishing to purchase mill-machinery can see a good -sample of your mills by paying our mill a visit. - -Yours, truly, -SMETHURST & BRO. - -Under date of December 1, 1869, Messrs. Smethurst & Bro. order a third -run of burrs. - -N., M. & Co. - - -NORTH UNION, Ind., Sept. 23d, 1872. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co., - -_Gents_:--Supposing you would like to learn how our mill is doing, I pen -you a few lines. You doubtless thought strange of me not sending for -your mill-wright, but we employ a miller who professes to be a -mill-wright, miller and engineer, and in three weeks from the time he -commenced we were running. The mills, bolt, scales, and all perform -well; we grind ten bushels of wheat per hour while running the other -machinery with 30 lbs. of steam, and 10 lbs. more will drive the corn -burr too; we don’ pretend to raise steam above this. The miller put the -wheat burrs in flouring order in a short time and put it down and made -prime flour at the start; we have made 38½ lbs. of flour from 60 lbs. -of wheat after it was tolled one-eighth. So far the mill gives perfect -satisfaction. Your notice concerning note was received; I shall be -prepared to meet it when due. - -Respectfully, Yours, -JAS. H. ARMANTROUT. - -This mill is located in Montgomery County, near Crawfordsville, and -composed of two run of stones, one 42 inch old quarry for wheat, and one -30 inch under runner for corn, in combined husk, also one 18 feet double -reel bolt, smutter, &c. The power being a 10×20 cylinder engine, and two -flue boiler 42 inches in diameter and 20 feet long. - - -Three Feet Under-Runner Mill in LaFayette, Ind. - -UNION MILLS, LaFayette, Ind., April 18, 1872. -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.-- - -_Gentlemen_:--Having had one of your corn mills in use about six months, -we take pleasure in saying that it gives good satisfaction in every -particular. We can make about 30 bushels of meal per hour on this mill. -The quality of the meal being superior to and more evenly ground than -any we have been able to make heretofore on other mills. The sharpness -and the temper of the burrs is certainly superior to any that we have -ever seen or used, and we cheerfully recommend your mills to any one -wishing to purchase a good article. - -Very truly, yours, -DAGGETT, MARTIN & Co. -ALFRED GAMBLE, head miller. - - -New Three Run Mill in Terre Haute. - - -JONES’ MILLS, Terre Haute, Ind., May 20, ’72. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.-- - -_Gentlemen_:--I would answer to your letter of inquiry and say that your -oil bush, self-tramming driving irons are the things that have long been -wanted to do perfect milling. The burrs, spindles, bolting cloths, -shafting, gearing, and all the works you sent and made for me to -complete my mill of three run of stones can’ be surpassed, and I invite -all parties wishing to build to call and examine, knowing they will give -you the preference. - -Yours, truly, -C. B. JONES. - - -18 inch Plantation Mill in Illinois. - - -EBERLY, Effingham Co., Ill., March 26, ’72. -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Sirs_:--We received the mill and sent the balance by express due on it -as agreed. We have tried it in making meal, feed, &c., and I believe we -can grind faster and better of corn and feed than you said in your -circular and letter. You do not rate their capacity enough. I think you -could sell more if you did. I did not see or write to any of those you -referred me to, I never broached or questioned your integrity or -business; the question was simply on what terms you would sell me the -mill, as regards payments, as there are many who sell on partial -payments, this was all. - -Yours, truly, -HENRY TRAVER. - - -Custom 17 Miles, and Pass Four Other Mills. - -MONITOR MILLS, Monitor, Tippecanoe Co., Ind., -May 12, 1872. - -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:-- - -_Gents_:--We have concluded to write how our mills work, supposing you -would be glad to hear of the success of your work. A great many -practical men have been here since we started up, and they all say with -us that it beats anything they ever saw. One mill near us has entirely -stopped for the want of business since we have got established. It is of -the old style heavy gear and large stones. Our custom trade averages -over 1,000 bushels per month, and we buy wheat to keep up our demand for -flour; we warrant every pound of flour, and so far not one complaint; -our works, all complete, that we bought of you, give the very best -satisfaction; our wheat is smutty here, but your cleaning machinery -meets the case exactly, and our flour is clear as the most particular -inspector could ask. It is no uncommon occurrence to get custom grinding -from a certain district 17 miles from here where they have to come by -four other mills. No more at present. - -REDENBO, FRETZ & BRO. - - -In a letter dated December 19, 1871, they say: Our custom has increased -to from 90 to 145 bushels per day; doing this and our own grinding on -the one run of 3 feet stones, keeps it going steady twenty hours out of -the twenty-four. We have heard of you starting a new mill at Colburn, -some 12 miles from us, and that it was not doing well; if this is the -case it is in the bad management of it, as your mills, run with any -degree of care, will grind as satisfactorily as any mills can. We have -not had any expenses in repairing since we started, now about one year; -do not try to fill orders for flour in LaFayette, nor could we if we -tried. - -R., F. & BRO. - - -Under date of February 22d, they write:--The note came to hand in due -time, and properly cancelled. The custom grinding will reach about 4,000 -bushels this month; how will that do? Mr. G. L. Kemp of Frankfort was -here, he says their mill is doing well and giving satisfaction. Would -like to see your establishment again; will call on you some time before -long if nothing prevents. - -Yours, -REDENBO, FRETZ & BRO. - - -Self-Tramming Mill Irons. - - -FOUNTAIN MILLS, Logansport, Ind., March 28, 1872. - -MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--_Gents_:--In regard to your burrs and all -other work I purchased of you, I will say it is the best I ever saw or -used. The stones were in both standing and running balance; that is the -first run I ever started that was so to perfection. I haven’ much to -say, except when I want mill works, you are sure to get my orders. You -have so far satisfied me in quality and prices. I will say I never dealt -with fairer dealing men than you, gentlemen. - -Yours, truly, -JACOB MYERS. - - -Under date of April 18th, 1872, Mr. Myers writes again. - -FOUNTAIN MILLS, 3 miles S. E. from Logansport. - -_Sirs_:--I thank you a thousand times for making me acquainted with the -self-tramming driving irons; they are the best improvement on mill burrs -I ever saw. The spindle is always in perfect tram with the face of the -runner, and it is no trouble at all to test and keep it in running -balance. The stone keeps in better face and I do not have to dress my -burrs half as much. It is just what we have been needing. I can make a -bigger yield and clearer flour and grind more per horse power. It is -astonishing how smooth the stone runs and evenly it grinds. In the -States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, by actual count, I have run -and managed twenty-seven run of stones, and I have not stated to you -anything but what I can show here to any one. I sent you Mr. Ringer, or -he probably would not have found you out, I believe he ordered a pair of -42-inch stones with the self-tram irons. It gives me pleasure to -recommend a good job. - -Yours, as ever, -JACOB MYERS. - - -Three 30 Inch Pulley Mills. - - -WHITESTOWN, Ind., Jan. 11, 1869. - -NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--_Gentlemen_:--The mills we purchased of you are -two run, of 30-inch upper-runner pulley mills, iron back and balance, -for wheat--and one under-runner 30-inch mill for grinding corn, rye, -buckwheat, &c. Our power is a 20 foot boiler, 42 inches diameter, and -engine 8 inch cylinder and 20 inch stroke, speed 150 revolutions per -minute; speed of mills 300 revolutions. The average grinding is 7 -bushels of wheat per hour to each wheat run--and of good wheat we make -our customers 40 pounds of flour to the bushel after tolling--the -quality, our customers say, is the best in the market. We run the three -mills, two smut machines, of your make, screen and three reels with 65 -pounds of steam, and use from 1½ to 2 cords of wood per day. - -Respectfully, yours, -OSBORN & DYE. - - -Under date of September 6, 1869, in a letter from the same mill, they -say, “Our mills are doing well, making 40 pounds of good merchantable -flour to the bushel, after tolling one-eighth.” - -N., M. & Co. - - * * * * * - -We forbear to extend the publication of the large amount of similar -testimony in our possession, as these statements from many points of the -country widely distant from each other, indicate the various conditions -under which our mills are placed and operated. We hope they will be -found useful and instructive. - -N., M. & Co. - - - - -REFERENCES. - -NAMES OF SOME WHO HAVE ORDERED, AND ARE USING OUR MILLS AND MACHINERY. - - - C.
