FIGURE IX.

A technical woodcut depicts a water-powered mill mechanism. The machine is housed within a wooden frame (A, B, C, D). At the bottom, a horizontal water wheel with multiple rectangular paddles (H, I, K, L, M, N) sits within a flowing body of water. A central vertical shaft (E, F) extends upward from this wheel. In the middle section, the vertical shaft connects to a large horizontal gear wheel (O), which meshes with a smaller vertical lanterna lantern pinion (P). At the top, the mechanism powers a grinding apparatus on a wooden platform, featuring a circular millstone housing and a hopper (Q) used to feed material into the mill.
