Elen Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 The work was done for a contest "16x16: Technics" on bricker.ru One of the most important inventions of mankind - the invention of the mill. Mill has undergone many changes since its original creation. This work shows the last change of the final design in the late 18th century. In 1772, Scottish inventor proposed to manufacture the blades of the mill from small plates. Before that it was the invention of the rotatable roof. There is a lever at back of the roof of the mill to turn it against the wind. Mill is an octagonal blockhouse on the quadrangle & inside there is a working mechanism : Hipped roof with wings mills turned to the wind with long poles : Wings rotate and set in motion the working mechanism : Millstones : View of the millstone from above: Wings : Thank you for viewing and comments!
