| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | These mills have been working for about five and a half years, and have a capacity of fully 100 tons a day. The motive power is supplied by a compound tandem engine with cylinders 22 inches and 40 inches diameter and 5 feet stroke, running at 45 revolutions per minute, with a flywheel 225 feet diameter grooved for nineteen ropes and weighing about 36 tons; it is assisted by two turbines 39 inches and 45 inches diameter, with a 9-feet fall. These are coupled together in such a way that, when all the machinery is in motion, the full water-power available is taken from the two turbines, and the engine takes up the rest of the load. When the mill proper or the engine has to be stopped for any reason, the turbines are available for driving the dynamos and the receiving and delivering machinery.
The entire premises are lit by electricity, and are protected by automatic sprinklers, with the exception of the wheat and flour stores and the engine and turbine houses, which are fire-proof.
The mechanical arrangements are such that the wheat is not touched by hand from the time it is emptied out of the sacks from the lorries into hoppers in the courtyard, until it finds its way into other sacks ready to be weighed and sewed up as flour or offal in the flour store.
Notwithstanding the quantity turned out per day, the number of hands employed throughout the entire mills is only seventeen on each shift, exclusive of the few required for receiving wheat, delivering flour, and cleaning sacks, &c. |
