This is another type of mill, upon which one can grind a good necessity of grain through two men (in case there is no opportunity for water, horses, or similar animals), and it works as follows:
The two men drive the cam Kam cog/cam around by means of two windlass horns Haspelhörner crank handles, which are made facing each other, through the help of two flywheel wheels E. M., which are driven around with the axis of the cam, and provide a powerful swing, so that the millwork is easier to drive, for the cam on the axis or shaft, upon which the windlass horns with the swing wheels are, seizes the double cogwheel Kamprad cogwheel N. The same has teeth in its circumference, and in front on its bottom, they seize the cam on the spindle O., and thus cause the millstone P. to go around quickly, so that the grain Geträyd grain is ground, which falls down from the hopper and pours the flour into the box on the side R.
