The object that is displayed is a flourmill; it is used to grind flour. This mill is made out of wood and has been beautifully and elaborately engraved and decorated. It sits on a wooden platform and as you can see this is not engraved like the rest of the object. This might give a more casual and comfortable feel to the whole object. It is operated manually therefore it is not considered a machine, like those designed in the Industrial Revolution for the factories, and the Luddites did not object to it. It has a knob to be operated with and this is how you are to grind the flour. On the top there is a funnel that you poor the flour that is not ground yet. Messers S. Adams & Co manufactured it. |
