The weights can be wound up with the help of two men with a haspel-walze winch cylinder H, which should have a sperr-feder ratchet/pawl. The weights should descend slowly, which can be made to happen more conveniently through the wechsel-scheibe change-pulley, and these nevertheless make the movement proceed with the required agility.

The XXX. Figure.

A Weight Mill.

This mill is wound up by various attached counterweights A, B, C with three cranks F, S, Q. The weight A is also hung onto the wechsel-scheiben change-pulleys D, and its rope is pulled through the other wechsel-scheibe E, which further winds itself onto the cylinder H. The stirn-rad spur wheel I should have a sperr-feder ratchet/pawl for winding up, just like the cylinders in common clocks, so that it cannot run back. On this cylinder with the sperr-feder, the stirn-rad L is further arranged, which engages with its cog into the sticks at M, and makes the wheel N, together with the two trillis lantern pinions O and V, rotate the mill S—which is made of iron or brass—on one side or the other. This type can be conveniently used as a würtz-mühl spice mill. What else is to be observed with this mill is clearly indicated in the figure at P, Q, R, S, T, V, and thus it is not necessary to describe it in more detail.

The XXXI. Figure.

A Wind Mill.

This mill is arranged in a tower constructed of masonry. One can turn the roof of the tower, together with the four sails, with the wellbaum axle tree B (on which the kam-rad cogwheel of the mill is further attached) by means of the beam A, to whichever

side it is necessary. The winch G is always hooked on at C.

The XXXII. Figure.

A Wind Mill.

This mill can be turned, almost like the previous one, with the beam S and directed against the wind wherever one wishes. The wellbaum axle tree, on which the sails are fastened, has a kam-rad cogwheel Z, which engages with its cog into the trillis lantern pinion X and thus drives the mühlstein millstone V. The four sails can be pulled together by the forward movement of the raiff hoop/rim which surrounds the kam-rad when one wants to stop the mill. By the help of two winches with a pulled-through rope and the beam R, it can be raised and lowered. At Q, one could arrange a haspel-winde winch/reel to pull grain sacks up and down.

The XXXIII. Figure.

A Grinding and Milling Mill.

This mill is to be arranged where one does not have water, so that it can be driven by a horse or other animal. This happens when the upright wellbaum axle tree A is driven with the horizontally lying kam-rad cogwheel. This wheel engages with its downward-hanging teeth into the sticks of the trillis C, which further drives the perpendicular wheel D together with the upper trillis H, upon which the millstone sits, and at the same time makes the circular discs E and F, together with the schleiff-stein grinding stone G, run around.

Note: If one only wanted the mill and no grinding mill, one only needs to leave off the round discs E. If, however, one did not want a grinding mill, then one removes the perpendicular wheel D, which a good master craftsman will know how to arrange by adding or removing the wheels and the getrieb gear mechanism, without further description.
