Grinding Wheel

This grinding wheel sets out in front of the main entrance to the museum. Although not complete, it illustrates the cutting or milling action as seen from the diagonal grooves in the stones top surface. In operation, another wheel would be on top and as grain was feed into the top hole, the grain would be pulverized by the rotating wheel. The result...flour for making bread.
